UP Excise Deptt Eyes To Reduce Limit Of Liquor Storage At Home

The UP's excise department is eyeing to reduce the home stock limit of liquor bought for private consumption. As per Excise commissioner P Guruprasad, the current 26-litre of possession limit is "unreasonable". He also stated that stocking liquor above the prescribed limit without license will be an offense. However, the new permissible limit has not been disclosed yet. Earlier, the UP government had passed a new excise policy mandating license for liquor storage at home.
