What Changed:

This circular was issued in the context of the Ease of Doing Business initiative, streamlining the renewal process for manufacturing and allied licenses (PLL, CL-I, BRL, Form-I). Previously, licensees faced delays and complications in renewal due to multiple pending requirements and documentation hurdles. The circular directs licensing authorities to process renewals more efficiently by clearly specifying conditions that must be fulfilled and those that need not hold up renewal.

Key Details:

Conditions MANDATORY before renewal can be processed:

1. Consent to Operate from the relevant pollution/environment authority must be valid and submitted.
2. Structural/technical approvals — relevant certificates must be on record.
3. Outstanding dues — if the licensee is classified as a Defaulter, renewal shall not be granted until dues are cleared; a formal notice of 30 days must be given before rejection.
4. Court/tribunal orders — if any stay or adverse order exists against the establishment, the same must be considered before renewal.
5. Where a licensee has made an application for renewal, and all required documents are in order, the renewal should not be withheld on technical or procedural grounds alone.

Conditions / Clarifications for Smooth Renewal:

• Licensing authorities are directed not to delay renewals on grounds that do not have a legal basis under the Act or Rules.
• Renewal files must be processed and disposed of within the prescribed time limits.
• District-level officers (Superintendent of State Excise / Collector) are instructed to ensure compliance with this circular and report action taken.
• Reference is made to clause (a)(i) of the relevant fee/condition schedule for applicable renewal fee computation.

Reporting & Compliance:

• Licensing authorities must submit compliance reports to the Commissioner of State Excise.
• Any deviations or pendency must be reported with reasons.

Effective Date: From date of issue — 16 September 2019

Issuing Authority: Commissioner of State Excise, Maharashtra State, Mumbai
