Home-Delivered of Liquor under consideration in Punjab to Prevent Crowding At The Vends And Social Distancing Issue will Also Be Taken Care of.

Punjab Government may allow the home of liquor after the 9 am-1 pm opening hours

Booz Lovers can order the delivery at home. Instructions in this regard have been issued by the Excise and Taxation Department.

When the lockdown was announced, old licenses were granted an extension and they paid 60 percent of the fee. The remaining had to be paid in the last week of March, explained Vivek Pratap Singh, Excise and Taxation Commissioner.

It’s to be mentioned that Punjab has suffered a loss of Rs 500 crore due to the lockdown in April, in which case the government is expected to compensate the liquor sales from home delivery of liquor. This will also enable license holders to pay excise duty.

But, Punjab Excise and Taxation Commissioner Vivek Partap Singh, however, said the proposal was at a very nascent stage and no modalities had been worked out.
