The modification suggests a streamlining of administrative procedures, potentially shifting to alternate reporting mechanisms (digital systems, reporting at district level, or periodic consolidation) or elimination of redundant reporting where sales data may be captured through other means (excise duty returns, warehouse records, or integrated IT systems).

Key Details:

• Affected License: CL-2 (Country Liquor Wholesale)
• Form Discontinued: CL-16 (Monthly Sales Statement)

• Likely retained: District-level reporting or digital system uploads (though not specified in available text)

Effective Date: From date of circular issuance (specific date not provided in extracted text)

Authority: Issued by Commissioner, State Excise, Maharashtra under administrative powers for licensing procedures

Note: This appears to be an administrative circular rather than a formal rule amendment. The full gazette text would typically contain the circular number, specific effective date, and any alternate reporting procedures that replace the discontinued CL-16 monthly submission requirement.
