Posted on 5th May 2020 11:54 am by rohit kumar

New Delhi: On the first day of lockdown three, the sale of liquor was banned, so the business was amazing. In UP, liquor worth 300 crores was sold in one day and in Rajasthan, 59 crores were sold in just two hours. In Chhattisgarh also, liquor worth Rs 35 crore was sold yesterday. Liquor shops have a long line since morning.

 

So many crores of liquor sold in these states

 

UP- 300 crores

Rajasthan - 59 crores (in just two hours)

Karnataka - 45 crores

Chhattisgarh - 35 crores

Liquor worth 6 crores sold in Lucknow, UP.

 

On Monday, a long queue of people appeared as soon as the liquor shop opened with a concession in the lockdown. After the uproar and ruckus in Delhi, liquor shops were closed at many places. The Delhi government not only made alcohol expensive by up to 70 per cent, but Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself appeared angry with the attitude of the people.

 

Why did the government take the decision to open liquor shops in Corona during the health concerns of the people? The answer to this question is ...

 

2 lakh 48 thousand crore rupees, this figure is of the earnings of the state governments from the sale of liquor in the year 2019. Understand this arithmetic of the government's income from alcohol in simple terms ……

 

 

- A part of the price of a bottle of wine is excise tax

- This entire excise tax goes to the treasury of the state government.

 

This means that the more liquor sold, the more the state government will earn.

 

- Revenue of liquor sales was 1.99 lakh crores in 2017

- 2.17 lakh crores in 2018

- and 2.48 lakh crores in 2019

- On average, the government earns 700 crores every day from the sale of liquor.

Talking of 40 days of lockdown, the government has lost revenue of 28 thousand crores.

 

Explain that about 20 to 30% of the government's revenue comes from the sale of liquor, so every government wants to keep the liquor store open.

 

States earnings from excise department

 

- Delhi earns 500 crores every month from excise tax

- Monthly earnings from Excise Department of Maharashtra is 2000 crores

- 2166 crores of U.P.

- 833 crores of Madhya Pradesh

- And Rajasthan has 650 crores

 

Body resistance is very important in the fight against Corona. Alcohol weakens the body, but amid this danger of disease, the government decided to open liquor shops. Now the question is, will the governments play with the health of the people at this time for earning?
