मराठीत सारांश

# महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा — Wholesale Licences समजावून सांगणे

---

## थोडक्यात:

**CL-II PART III = देशी दारू (Country Liquor) यांचे होलसेल/मोठ्या प्रमाणात विक्रय करण्याचा licence**

---

## साधी माहिती:

**कोण घेतो हा licence?**
- दारू दुकानदार किंवा व्यापारी जे देशी दारू मोठ्या प्रमाणात खरेदी करून स्टोर करतात
- त्यानंतर ते लहान दुकानांना (retail shops) विक्रय करतात

**काय करू शकतो हा licence असल्यास?**
- Duty paid (कर भरलेली) देशी दारू warehouse/गोदामात राखून ठेवू शकता
- लहान दारू दुकानांना थोक दरात विक्रय करू शकता
- Storage आणि bulk selling हेच काम आहे

**कोणते form भरायचे?**
- **Form C.L.II** — हा application form आहे

**कोणते नियम लागू होतात?**
- **Maharashtra Country Liquor Rules 1973** — मुख्य नियम

**अन्य wholesale licence कोणते आहेत?**
- **F.L.I** — फॉरेन लिकर (विदेशी दारू) wholesale
- **F.L.W.I** — वाईन (अंगूरी दारू) wholesale

---

## मुख्य मुद्दे:

✓ **"Wholesale" = थोक विक्रय** (retail नाही — सरळ ग्राहकांना नाही)

✓ **"Country Liquor" = देशी दारू** (स्थानिक वनस्पतीपासून बनलेली)

✓ **"Duty-paid" = कर आधीच भरलेली** (पुन्हा भरण्याची गरज नाही)

✓ **Online portal = exciseservices.mahaonline.gov.in वर आवेदन करायचे**

---

**सरल भाषेत: हा license घेतल्याशिवाय मोठ्या प्रमाणात देशी दारू स्टोर करून विक्रय करता येत नाही।**
