Amended Rule/Section: Form-I (Manufacturing License) and PLL (Possession of Liquor License) provisions under Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949
Type of Change: New Notification / Policy Decision
What Changed: This government decision establishes provisions for granting dual licenses (Form-I and PLL) specifically to BRL (Bonded Rolling License) Wine manufacturers operating wineries. Previously, the licensing framework for wine manufacturers may not have explicitly addressed the concurrent requirement of manufacturing authorization (Form-I) and possession/storage authorization (PLL) for wine production facilities. This notification clarifies and formalizes the process for winery licensees to obtain both necessary authorizations under a unified framework, recognizing the specific operational requirements of wine manufacturing which involve both production and extended possession/storage of liquor.
