Amended Rule/Section: Country Liquor Shop (CL-3) License Transfer/Shifting Provisions
Type of Change: Amendment — Quota Increase
What Changed:
The Government of Maharashtra has increased the permissible quota for shifting/transfer of Country Liquor retail sale shops (CL-3 licenses) from the existing 15% to 30%. This amendment expands the flexibility available to CL-3 licensees for relocating their shops, potentially within a district or designated area. The previous cap of 15% restricted the number of CL-3 shops that could be shifted in a given period or area, and the new 30% threshold doubles this allowance, facilitating greater operational mobility for licensees while maintaining regulatory oversight.
