Summary:
This document is a comprehensive index of 34 citizen and commercial services available through the Maharashtra Excise Department's online portal (exciseservices.mahaonline.gov.in). It lists all major license categories, permits, and registrations under the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, Maharashtra Foreign Liquor Rules 1953, Maharashtra Country Liquor Rules 1973, and related subordinate rules. Services span cattle feed molasses licensing, one-day permits, wholesale trade licenses, retail shop permits, manufacturer registrations, and specialized licenses (breweries, wineries, club licenses, hotel licenses, beer shops, wine bars). This is a service directory, not a formal regulatory amendment or fee notification — it serves as a roadmap for applicants seeking excise licenses and permits in Maharashtra.
