Summary

This document is a Government of India publication announcing the Marathi-language translation of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act) under the authority of the Authoritative Texts (Central Acts) Act, 1973 (Act No. 50 of 1973).

This document is entirely unrelated to Maharashtra Excise law, the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, or any liquor licensing matter.

2. Index of provisions in both English and Marathi
3. Detailed provisions relating to information disclosure, public access to government records, and right to information procedures
4. Appeals mechanisms and penalties under the RTI framework

Why This Document is NOT Relevant to Excise Law

Actual Content of Document

The document is the Marathi translation of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (a Central Act), which governs:

• Citizens' right to access government information (Section 2 onwards)
• Public authorities' obligation to disclose records (Sections 3-12)
• Information commissioning structure (Central/State Information Commissions)
• Appeal procedures (Section 19 onwards)
• Penalties for non-disclosure (Sections 20-28)
• Exemptions to disclosure (Section 8-9)

This is a transparency and administrative accountability law, not a commercial licensing statute.

Conclusion

Document ID 702 has been incorrectly classified or referenced as an Excise Department document.

It contains no Maharashtra Excise law content, no fee structures, no license application procedures, and no provisions affecting liquor retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, or any excise-regulated activity.

Recommend: Verify the correct source document ID for the intended Maharashtra Excise analysis.
