Amended Rule/Section: Licensing procedures for FL-3 and CL-3 retail premises
Type of Change: Administrative Circular - New Procedural Requirement
What Changed: The Commissioner of State Excise has issued a circular establishing a mandatory procedure for premises approval before annual license renewal for FL-3 (Foreign Liquor retail) and CL-3 (Country Liquor retail) shops. Previously, renewal may have proceeded without formal re-inspection of premises. The new circular requires that all licensed premises for FL-3 and CL-3 establishments must undergo inspection and receive approval before the annual renewal of their licenses can be processed. This ensures that premises continue to meet the prescribed conditions and standards for retail liquor sales before licenses are renewed for the next year.
