Wine Shop: With the new financial year starting from April 1, 2025, many rules are going to change in different states. Under this, many changes are also being made in different liquor policies.
Meanwhile, news is coming that a state of the country is going to open ‘Low Alcoholic Beverage Bar’ for the first time. Along with this, the sale of liquor is going to be stopped at a total of 19 places. Under the new liquor policy, the sale of liquor will be stopped at a total of 19 places including 17 cities of religious importance.
Total number of bars 460 to 470
According to the new policy released on Sunday, only drinks like beer, wine and ‘ready-to-drink’ can be consumed in ‘low alcoholic beverage bars’, in which the amount of alcohol will be less than 10 percent V / V (volume on volume). Consumption of alcohol will be completely banned in these bars. Let us tell you that all these new rules are going to be implemented in Madhya Pradesh. Let us tell you that currently there are 460 to 470 bars in the whole of Madhya Pradesh and an official of the Excise Department said that with the opening of these new bars, its total number will increase rapidly.
All liquor shops will be closed in 19 cities from April 1
A government statement said that a total of 47 liquor shops will be closed due to the ban on the sale of liquor at 19 places from April 1. The sale of liquor will be banned in some other cities including Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, Mandleshwar, Orchha, Maihar, Chitrakoot, Datia, Amarkantak and Salkanpur. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had announced a ban on the sale of liquor on January 23 after the approval of the new excise policy. Due to the ban on liquor, the state government will suffer a loss of about Rs 450 crore.
Renewal fees will increase by 20 percent
However, in the cities where the sale of liquor will be stopped, there will be no restriction on bringing liquor from other cities and consuming it. To ban carrying and consuming liquor in the places where the shops will be closed, there is a need to make a law like Bihar Liquor Prohibition Act 2016. Officials said that apart from Bihar, prohibition law is also applicable in Gujarat, while only the Excise Act is applicable in Madhya Pradesh. The government statement said that under the new excise policy for the next financial year, the renewal fee of liquor shops has been increased by 20 percent.
