The old excise policy will be implemented for the next six months as the Delhi government is working to streamline a new policy for 2022-23.
The Delhi government has decided to roll back to the old scheme of retail liquor sale in the city after the Leutenant Governor recommended a CBI probe into the implementation of the new excise policy.
According to sources, the old excise policy will be implemented for the next six months as the Delhi government is working to streamline a new policy for 2022-23.
A rough draft of the 2022-23 excise policy is yet to be sent to the Leutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena for his approval. The 2021-22 excise policy was extended twice after March 31 this year and will come to an end on July 31.
The excise department recommends home delivery of liquor, among other things, in the new excise policy of 2022-23.
