CRITICAL NOTES

Wine Duty Exemption: Scheduled to expire 31.12.2021 — likely outdated in current context
Reference Date: CSD rates effective from 01.04.2011 — document may not reflect subsequent amendments
MRP Formula Components:
- MC = Manufacturing Cost
- ST = Sales Tax (now GST post-2017)
- Formulas use progressive multipliers based on cost thresholds
Not a Legal Amendment: This document consolidates existing rules for citizen reference and does NOT constitute a new notification or fee revision

Recommendation: For current applicable rates, consult latest Maharashtra Government Gazette notifications post-2021, as this Citizen Charter reflects historical duty structure.
