The UP government has also made a provision to get a liquor license for personal use or a personal bar. According to the Additional Chief Secretary of Excise Department Sanjay R. Bhoosreddy, “under the new excise policy of the state, for personal use, individuals will have to obtain a license to purchase, transport or keep in private possession liquor in excess of the prescribed retail limit.”
For this, a license fee of Rs 12,000 and security amount of Rs 51,000 will have to be deposited every year under the stipulated conditions. According to the new policy, the limit of purchasing, transport, or private possession of only six liters of alcohol per person or in a house is fixed.
