Re: g_b party permits
Dear Mr. Tintin, The "official" place to procure a one day or any other permit in MUMBAI is near Old Customs House, Horniman Circle, Mumbai. I am really not sure how much a one day permit would cost, but it would be less than one hundred rupees. Please do keep necessary identification handy. Passport, driving licence, MTNL latest paid phone bill, Income Tax Permanent Account Number (P.A.N.) Card, Rent receipt, Voter Identity Card etc. are some of the documents accepted by the people issuing permits. I do not know what the exact name of the office is, but either others on this list will provide more valuable information in detail or you can check in some govt. office in that building or from people hanging about aimlessly outside. Ya, there are always people hanging about aimlessly everywhere in Mera Bharat Mahaan! Hahahahaha! Regards.

Re: g_b party permits
Sir, a few years ago, (say approximately five years ago) I could get a permit even from a wine shop without the queue etc. by paying double. I would go to a wine shop, pay six hundred rupees for three years and go away. As the shop was near my office, I went again on any Wednesday. That was the day the Excise Officer visited that particular wine shop. He would see me and give the permit right away. If you have the money, you can have the convenience of getting a permit through the wine shop, if this method is still prevalent. And yes, it is ENCOURAGING corruption. Sorry about that. Regards.

g_b party permits
This report from the Times of India about the fall out from the rave party in Juhu today confirms what GB has been saying for a long time now, which is that if you are going regularly to parties it is best to get a permit. For those who don't know what this is, its a rather absurd document that originated in the days when prohibtion was taken seriously, but now is retained essentially as a money making racket for the excise department. It says that the person holding the permit is allowed to consume alcohol for health reasons - basically, saying that you are a licensed alcoholic! The permit is also used as a convenient way for the police to book people from parties. If they can't find any other way to book you, they can usually book you for not having a permit, since almost no one does. And the fact that you may not drink doesn't really make a difference, since they will argue you need to have a permit just to be in a place where alcohol is being served. Its an incredibly stupid and oppressive law, but this combined utility to excise and police means its not going to disappear anytime soon. So if you are going to parties regularly it is really best that you get one. You can get single day permits, and sometimes at GB we can arrange with restaurants to take care of this, but not all venues agree to do this, and in general its best that you have one (I carry mine with me all the time). Some big liquor shops will help you with this (usually the day permits), and if you're a member of a private club they often do this for members. If not you can go to any excise office and do it. You can get single, annual or lifetime permits and I think the latter cost around Rs1200/-, but if you can afford it, you should just do it.
