Just a few weeks before Christmas and New Year's eve, the Navi Mumbai Excise Department has decided to give on the spot drinking licences to tipplers while they are in bars.
All you will need for a drinking licence is proof of identification and a photograph that can be submitted to excise officials on the spot.

Confirming the same, a senior excise official from the Navi Mumbai division said, “We have decided to go to every bar and give on the spot drinking licences to tipplers. However, they will have to provide us with the required proof. During this festive season, many people go to bars and drink alcohol without a licence. Hence, to curb this practice, we have initiated this.”
