Amended Rule/Section: Procedural directive under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949 and subordinate rules governing manufacturing licenses (PLL and CL-1)
Type of Change: New Circular / Administrative Instruction
What Changed: The Commissioner of State Excise has issued a circular mandating that all units operating under Permit Room Liquor License (PLL) and Country Liquor-1 (CL-1) manufacturing licenses must now submit their brand labels for approval through an online system. Previously, the procedure likely involved physical/offline submission of brand labels to excise authorities. This circular digitizes the label approval process, requiring manufacturers to use the online portal for submitting brand label designs, specifications, and related documentation for regulatory clearance before production and sale.
