Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday approved New

Excise Policy for the year 2022-23. The Current Excise year is applicable upto June 11,

2022.

While, for the first time ever, for the second consecutive year, there would be almost

no default in payment of licence fee. The Excise Revenue collections in Financial Year

2021-22 were Rs 7938.8 crore as against Rs. 6791.98 crore in the Financial Year 2020-

21, which is 17 percent higher.

As per the new Policy, in 2022-23, the liquor vends shall be auctioned through e-tender

of retail zones (comprising maximum 4 retail shops). Moreover, Morni added in the list

of places where bar licensees can be granted to promote tourism and adventure sport.

Bars and clubs located anywhere in the State can now seek bar licence.

Bars and retail vends can now have the flexibility to operate longer after payment of

additional fees. The basic quota of CL and IMFL shall be 1100 lakh proof litre and 650

lakh proof litre respectively, which is around 4 percent higher than last year. Besides

this, there would be no fixed quota of country liquor allotted to distilleries so the

licences will have full freedom to choose brands of any distillery.  There would be a

marginal increase in the licence fee of wholesale licences of country liquor and IMFL.

In the new Policy, there is no change in the minimum retail sale price of most brands of

country liquor and IMFS except Metro liquor where there is a marginal increase. Also,

there will be no increase in Excise Duty of most IMFL brands. Rather IMFL brands

above Rs. 5000 per case shall attract slightly lesser Excise Duty in order to ward off the

challenge coming from a neighbouring State.
