The Delhi government has notified the rules allowing liquor vendors under specific category of licence to run home delivery service. The rules will come into force from today.
Opposition parties in Delhi targeted the AAP government on Tuesday over its decision to allow home delivery of liquor in the city, saying it failed to provide relief to people affected by COVID-19 but is trying to deliver alcohol at their doorstep. The Delhi Excise (Amendment) Rules, 2021, notified on Monday, allow licence holders to deliver liquor booked through an app or a website at the doorstep of the buyers. The Delhi government said the provision of L-13 licence for home delivery of liquor was there in Excise Rules 2010 as well. L-13 is an existing license which has been amended. No license for L-13 or home delivery of license has been issued, said an official of the government.
