INDIRECT RELEVANCE

The RTI Act, 2005 does apply to Maharashtra Excise Department as a Central statute. Any person may file an RTI application with the Commissioner of State Excise or other excise authority to:

• Request copies of excise notifications, circulars, GRs
• Obtain information about license applications
• Access fee schedules, rules, and administrative decisions
• Challenge refusals under Section 8 (exemptions)

However, this document itself contains no excise content.

CONCLUSION

This submission does not match the stated task. The document is a Central Government publication (not Maharashtra Excise Department), contains RTI Act provisions (not excise law), and has no applicability to license types, fees, rules, or procedures under the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949 or Maharashtra Country Liquor Rules, 1973.

Recommendation: Please resubmit the correct Maharashtra Excise Department document (notification, circular, GR, fee schedule, or amendment) for analysis under the mandated extraction rules.
