To display permanent notice board in vendor’s license regarding sale of liquor to liquor c — 29 Jun 2016

What This Document Says

Amended Rule/Section: Mumbai Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953 - Rule 70(7) (One-day liquor consumption permit) implementation through administrative circular

Type of Change: Commissioner Circular - Administrative directive for mandatory display requirements and enforcement of liquor consumption permit provisions

What Changed:

This circular mandates that all retail liquor licensees must display a permanent notice board in their licensed premises informing customers that:

Under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 12 and 48, possessing/purchasing intoxicating substances requires a valid permit
Liquor will be sold ONLY to persons holding valid consumption permits (annual/lifelong/one-day)
One-day permits are available at the licensed premises for ₹2 (country liquor) or ₹5 (foreign liquor)

The circular addresses a compliance gap where retailers were selling liquor without verifying whether customers held valid consumption permits, despite the legal requirement under Rule 70(D) of Mumbai Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953.

Key Details:

Notice Board Requirements:

Must be displayed prominently where easily visible to all customers

Must be large-sized and placed at conspicuous location in licensed premises

Must contain exact prescribed text (provided in circular) in local language

Prescribed Notice Text:

States that valid liquor consumption permit is mandatory under Maharashtra Prohibition Act
Liquor will be sold only to permit holders
One-day permits available on-site at ₹2 (country liquor) / ₹5 (foreign liquor)

Executive Officer Responsibilities:

Ensure all retail licensees install prescribed notice boards
Verify installation during physical inspections
Maintain adequate supply of one-day permit forms for all licensees
Provide application forms and documentation checklist for annual/lifelong permits
Process annual/lifelong permit applications promptly

Permit Fee Structure (existing provisions reiterated):

One-day country liquor permit: ₹2
One-day foreign liquor permit: ₹5
Annual permit (Form FL-XSC): ₹100
Lifelong permit: ₹1,000

Enforcement:

Superintendents must conduct meetings with all Executive Officers
Non-compliance by officers or licensees will result in legal action
Sale of liquor without verifying customer permits will be treated as violation
Complaints of permit-less sales will trigger action against officers AND licensees

Effective Date: 29th June 2016 (date of circular issuance)

Authority: Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 12 (prohibition on possession/purchase) and Section 48 (consumption permits); Mumbai Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953 Rule 70(D) and 70(7); Commissioner of State Excise administrative powers

Context: This is a policy enforcement circular rather than a rule amendment. It operationalizes existing Rule 70(7) which introduced one-day permits to address low compliance with annual/lifelong permit requirements. The circular creates an administrative mechanism (mandatory notice boards + on-site permit availability) to ensure retail customers are aware of and comply with the permit requirement.

# महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा — मुंबई फॉरेन लिकर Rules, 1953 - Rule 70(7)
## One-Day Liquor Consumption Permit - Notice Board अनिवार्य करण्याचा आदेश

---

**थोडक्यात:**
राज्य उत्पादन शुल्क विभागाने (Excise Dept) सर्व दारू दुकानदारांना अनिवार्य केले आहे की त्यांच्या दुकानात एक मोठे notice board लावून ग्राहकांना सांगायचे की दारू खरेदी करताना valid consumption permit हवे. एक दिवसाचा permit ₹2 (कंट्री लिकर) किंवा ₹5 (फॉरेन लिकर) मध्ये मिळतो.

---

## काय बदलले?

**आधी:**
- दारू दुकानदार ग्राहकांकडून permit तपासतच नव्हते
- ग्राहकांना एक-दिवसाचा permit मिळत नव्हता दुकानात
- कोणाकडून permit आहे का नाही हे कोणीच तपासत नव्हते

**आता:**
- हर दुकानात मोठा notice board असायला हवे
- त्यात लिहिलेलं राहील: "फॉरेन लिकर" किंवा "कंट्री लिकर" घेताना valid permit आवश्यक आहे
- दुकानदार एक-दिवसाचा permit वर्तमान हवेत देणार (₹2 किंवा ₹5)

---

## Notice Board काय लिहिलं असायला हवे?

```
महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा, Section 12 व 48 नुसार:

★ दारू खरेदी करताना valid consumption permit आवश्यक आहे
★ हे दुकान permit नसलेल्या व्यक्तीला दारू विक्री करणार नाही
★ एक दिवसाचा permit येथेच मिळतो:
- कंट्री लिकर: ₹2
- फॉरेन लिकर: ₹5
```

---

## Permit Fees (संपूर्ण सारणी)

| Permit Type | Fee |
|---|---|
| **One-day permit (कंट्री लिकर)** | ₹2 |
| **One-day permit (फॉरेन लिकर)** | ₹5 |
| **Annual permit (वार्षिक)** | ₹100 |
| **Lifelong permit (आजीवन)** | ₹1,000 |

---

## दुकानदारांना काय करायचं आहे?

✅ **Notice board लावा** — दुकानाच्या मुख्य द्वारात, सर्वांना दिसेल असा
✅ **One-day permit forms** — हमेशा स्टॉकमध्ये ठेवा
✅ **Permit तपासा** — दारू विक्री करताना ग्राहकांकडून permit मागा
✅ **Inspection साठी तयार रहा** — Excise officer आलेल बेताच तपासणी करतील

---

## Excise विभागाच्या जबाबदारीया

🔹 सर्व दुकानांना notice board लावायला सांगायचं
🔹 दुकानात गेऊन तपासायचं की board आहे का नाही
🔹 One-day permit forms पुरेशा प्रमाणात दिले
🔹 Annual/Lifelong permit application तुरंत process करायचं

---

## अत्यंत महत्वाची गोष्ट — नियम तोडल्यास?

❌ **Permit नसलेल्याला दारू विक्री केल्यास** → दुकानदारावर कारवाई
❌ **Notice board न लावला तर** → Officer व दुकानदार दोघांवर कारवाई
❌ **One-day permit नव्हेच मागायचं नाही तर** → कायदेशीर कारवाई

---

## कधून लागू?

**29 जून 2016** पासून हा आदेश लागू झाला आहे.

---

## साधारण भाषेत उदाहरण

**राज्य Excise Commissioner म्हणतात:**

"अरे, दारू दुकानदार! तुमच्या दुकानाच्या बाहेर ठेवा: 'भाऊ, दारू घ्यायचंय तर एक दिवसाचा permit घे — फक्त 5 रुपये! नाहीतर दारू विक्री नाही.' असं board ठेवा. आणि हे permit तुम्ही दुकानातून द्या. नाहीतर तुमच्यावर कारवाई होईल."

---

**मुख्य बदल एक शब्दात:** दारू दुकानांमध्ये **transparency** आणि **compliance** आणायचा हा प्रयत्न आहे.
