Chandigarh, 4th April, 2017: The process for
receiving tenders for the allocation of liquor vends in Chandigarh, begun on
02.04.2017 and ended today where the bidders submitted their applications at
the Additional Town Hall Building, Sector-17, Chandigarh. The Administration
had advertised 77 licensing units to be allotted for the year 2017-18. As per
the details, a total of 80 bidders have submitted their applications against 53
licensing units.
The year saw a massive exercise carried out by the Department of Excise and
Taxation, Chandigarh for identifying the existing liquor vends and locations
that could not be put under allocation during the year 2017-18 owing to the
recent Judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India wherein the sale and
service of liquor within 500 meters of the National and State Highways has been
banned. After a detailed exercise, the Department could identify 77 such
locations and consequently the tenders were called against each location.
The tenders were received in the presence of Sh. Arjun Sharma, IAS (P),
Observer on behalf of Chandigarh Administration who supervised the whole
process along with Sh. Rakesh Kumar Popli, PCS, Additional Excise and Taxation
Commissioner cum Collector Excise and Sh. Ravinder Kaushik, Assistant Excise
and Taxation Commissioner, Chandigarh. The tenders would now be opened on
05.04.2017 at Tagore Theatre from 10.00 AM onwards and the successful bidders
would be required to deposit 40 percent of the total value of the bid amount
within 7 days of allotment.
