The Poisons Act 1919

What This Document Says

I notice this document is NOT a Maharashtra eGazette notification (Part 4-B, Extra-Ordinary) as specified in my instructions. This is the Poisons Act, 1919 - a Central/Union legislation (Act No. 12 of 1919), not a Maharashtra Prohibition Act amendment or notification.

However, I can provide a brief informational summary:

Document Type: Central Legislation (Not Maharashtra Excise Gazette)

Title: The Poisons Act, 1919 (Act No. 12 of 1919)

Enacted: 3rd September, 1919

Scope: This is a Central Act that consolidates and regulates the importation, possession, and sale of poisons across India (with historical exceptions for Jammu & Kashmir on domestic provisions).

Key Provisions:

Section 2: State Governments may regulate possession and sale of specified poisons through licensing
Section 3: Central Government may prohibit importation of poisons except under licence
Section 4: State Governments may regulate possession in areas with frequent poisoning incidents
Section 6: Penalties for violations (3-6 months imprisonment or fines up to ₹500-1,000)
Section 7: Search warrant provisions
Section 9: Exemptions for medical/veterinary practitioners acting in good faith

Important Note: This Act is NOT related to the Maharashtra Prohibition Act (Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949) which governs alcohol/liquor regulation in Maharashtra. The Poisons Act deals with toxic substances regulation.

If you need analysis of a Maharashtra Excise Department gazette notification regarding liquor licensing, fees, or prohibition rules, please provide that specific document.

मला क्षमा करा! 🙏

तुमने जी document पाठवली आहे, ती **"Poisons Act, 1919"** आहे — हा **केंद्रीय कायदा** आहे (भारतीय संसद), **महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा नाही**.

---

**तुमचे document काय करते?**

हा कायदा **विषारी पदार्थ** (जहर, जहरी औषधे) नियंत्रित करतो — मद्य (शराब) नाही!

---

**मी तुमची मदत कशी करू शकतो?**

मला **महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा** (Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949) किंवा **महाराष्ट्र उत्पादन शुल्क विभाग** (Excise Department) च्या **अधिसूचना/नियम** पाठवा.

उदाहरण:
- 🍷 फॉरेन लिकर / कंट्री लिकर license
- 📋 दारू दुकान खोलण्याचे नियम
- 💰 Fee, penalty, tax
- 🚫 दारूबंदी क्षेत्रे

---

**सरल उत्तर:** यही document आहे तर मी साहाय्य करू शकत नाही. कृपया **Maharashtra Excise Gazette** किंवा **दारूबंदी कायदा** संबंधित document पाठवा! 📄
