On this day, the sale of alcohol is completely prohibited.
Liquor Laws in India
Alcohol is something whose demand and sale does not fall but can only rise with time. There are various laws regarding liquor in India and there is no uniformity in them at all.
The subject of alcohol is included in the state list under the seventh schedule of the constitution of India. Thus, the law which governs the sale and consumption of alcohol varies from state to state.
License is needed to sell the alcohol in particular states, so are the consumers. Usually liquor stores, pubs, clubs, discos, bars, hotels and restaurants are licensed to sell alcohol. In addition to this, beaches and houseboats may hold the license to sell alcohol to tourists.
