Liquor overcharging: After petroleum products, liquor is the biggest source of revenue for governments. This revenue reaches thousands of crores on the occasion of festivals and New Year. The government pays tax on every liquor bottle sold. More than 40 lakh bottles were sold in the capital Delhi on New Year, from this you can imagine how much is earned from the liquor sector. Now people fond of alcohol sometimes have to buy expensive liquor, in many places liquor shops have huge over-ratings, about which very few people complain.
There are over-ratings in many places
When people who are fond of drinking alcohol go to another city, it usually happens that they have to pay Rs 100 to Rs 300 more for a bottle of liquor. In such a situation, instead of asking anything, most people buy liquor and the seller has fun. Liquor traders take full advantage of this carelessness of people and sell expensive liquor at fixed rates.
How to complain?
First of all, you should know that no one can charge you even one rupee more than the price written on the liquor or beer bottle. If you do this, first of all you should stop the liquor seller, but if he does not agree then complain to the Excise Department. Also tell the liquor seller that you are complaining to the excise department, as soon as you say this, many shopkeepers will give you liquor at rate to rate.
give information to the officer
Usually, the number of the excise officer is written outside the liquor shop, if the number is not given then you can get the number of the excise department by one click on Google. For example, if you are finding liquor expensive in Delhi then you will enter Delhi Excise Department on Google. Here you will get the numbers of all the officers, to whom you can give information about this over the phone.
As soon as you call the officer, the liquor seller will himself be ready to give you liquor or beer at the printed rate. If he does not do this, then you can get the officer to talk to him, and you can also get a fine imposed on the shopkeeper who does so. That is why next time you go to a liquor shop, be aware, do not fill the pockets of the liquor merchant with your hard-earned money.
