Delhi Liquor Discount

The CEO of Diageo's Indian business has been summoned by Delhi police's anti-corruption unit investigating billing and discount practices involving government agencies running liquor retail shops between 2017 and 2020, Reuters reported.

A day after keeping the shutters down, retail liquor vends in the city started opening today with Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena approving the AAP government's move to extend excise licences of private liquor vends.

The Delhi government's excise department has allowed private shops to offer up to 25 per cent discount on the maximum retail price (MRP) of liquor.

The Delhi government Monday opposed the pleas challenging its decision prohibiting any discount or rebate on the MRP of liquor in the national capital and told the Delhi High Court that this was giving rise to bootlegging activity.

The Delhi government on Thursday defended before the Delhi High Court its decision prohibiting any rebate or concession given by retailers on the sale of liquor, saying it can't promote drunkenness through discounts.

A plea was moved on Wednesday by several liquor vendors challenging the order dated February 28 by which the excise department of the government of NCT of Delhi, has prohibited the issuance or grant of discounts/ rebate/concessions by the retail lice

The excise commissioner of Delhi on Monday directed liquor shops in the city to stop offering discounts and rebates on alcohol brands in view of reports of overcrowding outside vends and the existing threat of COVID-19.
