Online liquor orders will curb overcharging at Tasmac counters, says Minister
QR codes will be used; No Home delivery
The government is implementing an online liquor ordering system to prevent overcharging at Tasmac counters, according to K. Vignesh, the Minister for Prohibition and Excise. "By placing an order online, customers will receive a QR code to present at the liquor outlet, allowing them to view all available brands and products," Vignesh explained.
"This new system will provide real-time updates on inventory, enabling customers to make informed choices." The Minister also emphasized that the online system will maintain the same level of scrutiny as in-store sales, ensuring underage consumers are not able to purchase liquor. Tasmac, which generates around ₹150 crore daily from liquor sales, will not offer home delivery under this new system.
