There are 22 discotheques in Maharashtra, of which 20 are in Mumbai city, Mumbai suburbs and Thane. Only two are in Pune.

One of the most favoured duty reimbursement schemes among exporters — the Duty Entitlement Passbook (DEPB) scheme — is likely to be scrapped, as the government gears up to introduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 1.
