How many bottles of liquor can a person keep without a specific licence for a purpose?
Ans. Possession limit for liquor :Liquor being an exciseable article, it can not be stored by a person like any general commodity. Possession limit has therefore been prescribed. A consumer is allowed to keep 18 lts of IMFL/Beer (in any proportion) at his residence at a time for bonafide consumption by him and family members/guests. For higher possession, he can apply to the Department for a permit for which a fee of Rs. 2000/- is charged. The applicant has to be income tax assessee to be eligible for the permit.
