Home delivery of liquor in Maharashtra will begin as of May 15, according to an order issued by the state department of special taxes on Wednesday.
The state government on Tuesday allowed liquor to be delivered to the home to avoid crowds in stores amid the forced closure of the coronavirus.
However, since the store owners had looked for more time to prepare, the service will begin as of Friday, according to the government resolution (GR) issued by the state department of special taxes.
“Liquor home delivery will begin Friday across the state, where stores are already open in non-containment zones. A store owner cannot designate more than 10 delivery people and one delivery person. it cannot carry more than 24 bottles of liquor allowed at a time, “said the order.
In providing relief to consumers, the government also ordered that store owners not charge more than the maximum price printed on the bottle.
The GR also made it clear that the online sale of liquor is an unwritten contract between the buyer and seller, therefore the state will not be a party to any possible dispute between them.
“Despite selling online, liquor stores must comply with established standards for physical separation and disinfection of their staff,” the order said.
The government allowed home delivery of spirits in the aftermath of the agglomeration of external liquor stores when they opened early last week after the relaxation of the closing regulations.
