Delhi govt allows bars, clubs to sell beer stock expiring by 15 July to liquor shops

The Delhi government has allowed Delhi’s restro-bars, clubs and hotels to sell their stock of beer expiring by 15 July to liquor shops in a bid to minimise their financial losses, a news agency quoted an official as saying.

Earlier this month, the government had allowed the owners of these places to sell to liquor shops their stock of beer expiring in June.

Since 25 March, when the nationwide lockdown was announced, these places have not been allowed to open. The national capital has around 950 hotels, clubs and restro-bars with excise licences.

“The department has now allowed restro-bars, hotels and clubs to sell their stock of beer expiring by July 15 to liquor shops in the city,” PTI quoted the official as saying, who added that the shelf life of beer in Delhi is around six months.

“Hotel, clubs and restaurants licensee shall prepare an inventory of all beer stock, with barcode, which is to be transferred at licensed vend,” the excise department said in an order.

“The licensee from hotels, clubs and restaurants shall then submit the barcode list of beer stock and consent letter obtained from licensed vend to excise department with the request for allowing transfer of beer stock,” it said
