Accordingly, consumers can possess not more than 12 units of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) or imported spirits, wine, toddy, beer, and liquids containing alcohol at a time. The ordinance has also enhanced the quantum of punishment for offences committed in these "absolutely prohibited areas." An order by the home department laid down the prescribed limit of units of liquor that can be possessed by consumers. ![]() In these districts, sale, purchase, possession, use, and consumption of liquor has been banned. ![]() The Maharashtra Prohibition (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, approved last week, laid down the definition of "absolutely prohibited areas" which cover dry districts.
