PANJIM: In a bid to certify the originality of liquor, the Excise Department in Goa has decided to soon introduce holograms on the liquor bottles manufactured in the state. Such a measure is being put in place to ensure that tourists are not sold spurious or adulterated liquor in the state, Excise Commissioner P S Reddy said.
"The hologram will be a multi-coloured seal that would be tamper-proof and will be pasted on the bottle at the manufacturing facility itself," he said, adding that each kind of liquor will have a unique hologram.
"If the hologram is removed, it will be denigrated into pieces," Reddy said. The state government, which has invited tenders for manufacturing the holograms, has sent the samples to IIT Delhi to check the quality of the labels.
Goa, which attracts around 24 lakh tourists every year, is a favourite liquor destination with the availability of inexpensive liquor across the state.
Reddy said that the state manufactures around 3 lakh boxes of liquor every month, of which, only 50 per cent is consumed locally while the rest is exported to other states. Locally, most of the liquor sale is through restaurants, he said.
After being hit by an excise scam which resulted in the loss of revenue, the state government has already introduced multi-coloured coded permits. The department has also fixed validity for the permits. Reddy said that colour of the permit changes every month so that no one can duplicate them. The department also produces monthly statements of import and export of liquor and they are cross-checked with the states where the consignments are sent, he added. – PTI
REDDY IS A PAID DOG OF SHIRODKAR WHO RUNS AGENCIA REAL. COMPARED TO SALE OF REAL WHISKEY, THE TAX PAID BY THEM IS PEANUTS. COURTESY REDDY. THIS IS ONLY TO TARGET SOME SMALL MANUFACTURERS. lAST ELECTIONS BABUSH STACKED 500 CASES OF SIGNATURE WHISKEY EVEN BEFORE THE CODE OF CONDUCT. AS IF REDDY DOESN'T KNOW
ReplyDeleteExactly. that idiot ghanti doesnot know that beer companies charge Rs.5 to Rs. 7 as beer empty bottle deposit besides the MRP. Shame on him Reddy. He does not know these basic things. Nowhere in the country bottle deposit is charged. Reddy does not even know that the MRP does not include the bottle deposit amount that he makes statements in the press. he owes an apology and a clarification on the newspapers.
ReplyDeleteSecondly regarding MRP, the the profit margins on liquor is ridiculous. Rs. 3 or 4 on a bottle of say Rs. 150. out of which 20 % have to be paid as VAT. How can maunfacturers unilaterally fix MRP without taker the sellers into confidence.
Liqour is a restricted trade yet licences to open more outlets are rampantly given. Therefore the lure of selling duplicate liquor for more profit is prevalent among a few traders who under sell at MRP.
Reddy is piad in lakhs to fix such MRP with low margins and now he is fooling the Goan people that wholsalers are overscharging.
ReplyDeletePeople will laugh if they actually know that Rs. 10 is the profit on selling a case of beer for Rs. 520. the cost is actually 510 plus 70 Rs. Deposit and the MRP is RS. 47 printed on a bottle.
I think when Reddy made this statement to the reporters he himself was high.
Liquor vendors should get united and strip this rascal reddy to his cheddy. The Ghanti bastard who has put Liquor traders in doldrums by conniving with Kingfisher, Seagrams, etc. who are pay him in his Andra Pradesh Account.
ReplyDeleteHe is onlly out to please Minister by increasing the revenue after squeezing the liquour. if any one want to make profit in this trade it is not possible unless unfair means are adopted.

This exise boss looks like he is not aware that whenevr tourists come to buy liquor the Taxi drivers, ricks, and pilots have to be paid a hefty commision as high as 50 ruppes for every bottle.
ReplyDeleteI blame the reporters especially of Herald. please go and ask liquor whole salers how much margin they make selling liquor. Does Reddy thinks liquor is like selling cike and pepsi ?
ReplyDeleteSome time we cannot afford to give even a polythin bag to the customers.
Reddy and his chor excise inpectors make money on liquor.
Excise dept should be sealed first
i dont understand why bottle deposit is charged. sounds foolish
ReplyDeleteWhat is the mening of MRP? On garments the MRP is set so high that a garment of china made costing Rs. 50 is sold for 700 to 800 rupees. It now in off seaon,when heavy discouts upto 60% are announced with costly advertments people realise what huge profits garment sellers make.
ReplyDeleteMany Foreign countries don't have these MRP becasue they have realised that it is useless.
MRP is a farce the giant manufacturers sometimes make upto 400 500% profits as maufaturing cost is shown inflated. Wonder which goverment is responsible for fixing MRP. these guys must be making tons of cash inorder to fix the MRP of the manufacturers choice leaving the sellers and resellers out of the decision.
