AMENDMENT SUMMARY

Gazette Reference: Commissioner Circular TOD-1814/Toddy 15-16/Akka, dated 7th August 2015, issued under Government Resolution TOD-0615/Pr.Kr.116/RaUshu-3, dated 25th August 2015

Type of Change: Policy Notification — Annual Toddy License Renewal for FY 2015-16

Authority: Maharashtra Toddy Shops (Grant of License by Auction-cum-Tender System) Order, 2001; Following recommendations of A.K. Jain Committee on Toddy Policy

What Changed:

Previous System: From 2010-11 to 2013-14, toddy licenses (Form TD-I) were renewed annually with 6% fee increase as per A.K. Jain Committee recommendations. In 2014-15, fresh licenses were issued through auction-cum-tender process (ending the renewal cycle).

New Provision for 2015-16: The Government has decided to revert to renewal system for one year (2015-16) instead of conducting fresh auctions. Existing TD-I licensees from 2014-15 may renew by paying 10% increase over their highest successful bid amount from previous year.

Practical Effect: This one-year renewal policy provides stability to toddy shop operators and protects employment of workers in the industry by avoiding disruption from fresh auction process. It addresses practical difficulties faced by toddy trade operators while maintaining revenue growth through 10% fee escalation.

Key Details:

Eligible Licensees: Only those holding Form TD-I licenses in FY 2014-15
Renewal Fee: Previous year's successful bid amount + 10% increment
Toddy Year End Date: 31st August 2015
Renewal Duration: One year only (2015-16)
Non-Renewing Shops: Shops not renewed + shops that remained unsold in previous auction + new shops (where toddy trees are available) shall be auctioned as per 2001 Order
District Collector's Role: Must determine tree availability, set reserve price considering drought/rainfall conditions, and conduct auction process for new/vacant shops under TD-9 license approval procedure
Policy Rationale: Balance between revenue generation and industry stability; prevent worker displacement; provide business continuity

Instructions to Field Officers:

The Commissioner directs all Superintendents and District Collectors to:

Accept renewal applications with 10% fee increase from existing TD-I licensees
Identify non-renewing shops and previously unsold shops
Assess toddy tree availability for new shops
Conduct auctions under Maharashtra Toddy Shops Order 2001 with appropriate reserve prices considering local drought/rainfall conditions

Effective Date: From 1st September 2015 (start of toddy year 2015-16)

Digital Signature: Authenticated by Ankush S. Gharge, Joint Secretary, Home Department, Maharashtra Government (Digitally signed on 25.08.2015)

# महाराष्ट्र ताडी लाइसन्स नवीकरण नोटिफिकेशन — 2015-16

**थोडक्यात:** सरकारने 2015-16 साठी ताडी दुकानांचे लाइसन्स नीलामीच्या ऐवजी नवीकरण (renewal) प्रणालीने दिले. आधीच्या दुकानदारांना 10% वाढ देऊन नवीकरण करायचे होते.

---

## आधी काय होते?

2010-11 पासून 2013-14 पर्यंत ताडी लाइसन्स हे साधारणपणे 6% वाढ देऊन प्रतिवर्षी नवीकरण (renew) होत होते.

2014-15 मध्ये नीलाम (auction) प्रणाली आली — संपूर्ण नवीन लाइसन्स दिले.

---

## आता 2015-16 मध्ये काय बदलले?

**सरकारने परत renewal प्रणाली आणली — फक्त एक वर्ष साठी!**

जे दुकानदार 2014-15 मध्ये लाइसन्स धारक होते, त्यांना असेच नवीकरण करता येईल.

**नीकरण फी:** गेल्या वर्षी वर्तमान बोली + **10% वाढ**

उदाहरण: गेल्या वर्षी bid ₹50,000 आली, तर 2015-16 मध्ये ₹55,000 (50,000 + 10,000) भरून नवीकरण करा.

---

## कोण नवीकरण करू शकतात?

✓ ज्यांना 2014-15 मध्ये TD-I लाइसन्स होता

---

## कोणाला नीलाम होईल?

- जे दुकानदार नवीकरण करणार नाहीत
- पूर्वीच्या नीलामात विकणार आले नाहीत असे खोळे
- नव्या ताडी झाडांवाले स्थळ

**जिल्हाधिकारी** हवामान, मेंदणे पाहून नीलामीचा आरक्षण दर ठरवतील.

---

## कधी लागू झाले?

**1 सप्टेंबर 2015** पासून (ताडी वर्ष 2015-16 सुरुवात)

---

## मूल मतलब काय होता?

ताडी दुकानदार आणि कामगारांना स्थिरता देणे. लगेच नीलाम करून नवीन मालक आणल्यास खरेदार बदलणार होते, कामगार हटणार होते. हा निर्णय एक वर्षाची शांती देऊन सरकारला 10% रेव्हन्यू वाढही दिला.
