All amendments took effect immediately upon gazette publication (07-07-2010) without prior public consultation, justified under BPA Section 143(3) proviso as requiring urgent implementation.

या gazette notification मध्ये दारू licence transfer, partner changes, आणि site transfer साठीचे **नियम बदलले**.

---

## 🔴 **बदल 1: Transfer Fees (Privilege Fees) — 07-07-2010**

**थोडक्यात:** License transfer करताना किती रुपये देावे लागतील यात मोठा बदल झाला.

### **Transfer प्रकार आणि नई fees:**

**1️⃣ एका जागेवरून दुसऱ्या जागेवर transfer करायचो?**
- **CL-1, PLL, Toddy license:** Original grant fee जितकी = **100%**
- **CL-III, FL-II, FL-III license:**
- मुंबई/पुणे/मेट्रो area = Original fee × **3 गुणा**
- दुसऱ्या municipal corporation = **2 गुणा**
- गावठे area = **100%**
- **दुसरे licenses:** 50% (शहर), 20% (गावठे)

**अपवाद:** Development scheme, gram sabha order, किंवा court order नुसार प्रभावित असले तर **fee लागणार नाही**.

---

**2️⃣ एकाच license मालक बदलायचा (A ते B)?**
- **CL-1, PLL, Toddy:** **5 गुणा** fee
- **CL-III, FL-II, FL-III:**
- Metro area = **8 गुणा**
- दुसरे municipal = **5 गुणा**
- गावठे = **4 गुणा**

**3️⃣ Partner जोडणे किंवा काढणे?**

**Partner जोडताना:**
- **CL-1, PLL, Toddy:** **4.5 गुणा** fee
- **CL-III, FL-II, FL-III:**
- Metro = **7.5 गुणा**
- Municipal = **4.5 गुणा**
- गावठे = **3.5 गुणा**

**Partner काढताना:** सर्व license → **50% fee**

**💡 विशेष छूट:**
- **पत्नी किंवा मुलगे/मुलींना partner करणे:** केवळ **10% fee**
- **licensee किंवा partner मरण झाल्यावर कानूनी वारस transfer:** **fee नाही**
- **Illegal Nokarnama transfer?** State ने **114% (100% + 14% व्याज) recover** करू शकेल

---

## 🔴 **बदल 2: Form I आणि PLL Manufacturing Licenses — Post-Grant Permission**

**थोडक्यात:** License दिल्यानंतर partner change, नाव बदलणे, किंवा जागा बदलणे हवे असले तर **State Government अनुमती देऊ शकेल** (नियम 4-B, 4-C, 4-D आणि 16-2, 16-3, 16-4).

**काय होऊ शकेल?**
- Partner जोडणे/काढणे
- नाव A ते B बदलणे
- एकाच जागेवरून दुसऱ्या जागेवर जाणे

---

## 🔴 **बदल 3: Foreign Liquor Form FL-III License**

**थोडक्यात:** Collector ला अनुमती दिली की license दिल्यानंतर **नाव बदलू शकतो** आणि **same district मधलीच दुसरी जागा शोधू शकतो** (नियम 46-A, 46-B).

**महत्वाचे:** Site transfer **same district मध्येच** होते — दुसऱ्या district ला जाता येणार नाही.

---

**थोडक्यात:** Commissioner ला अनुमती दिली की license दिल्यानंतर:
- Partner जोडू/काढू शकतो (नियम 4-A)

- जागा बदलू शकतो (नियम 4-C)
