Tamil Nadu liquor sales policy changes

Overview

The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) is implementing new regulations for liquor sales starting November 1. First, a mandate requires digital payments for all retail transactions exceeding Rs 1,000 to improve transparency, reduce cash handling risks, and address complaints regarding overcharging.

Simultaneously, the state is introducing a Rs 10 Environmental and Social Welfare Cess per bottle of liquor, beer, or wine. This fee replaces a previous bottle buy-back scheme that was deemed improper due to accounting discrepancies and low bottle return rates. The new cess will be collected through official government channels to fund environmental protection and social welfare activities.
