GurugramA big game is taking place in the liquor business in Gurugram, Haryana, Where in some areas, illegal liquor is being sold by bringing it via sea route, At the same time, distributors are also defrauding the customs department,
According to the information, after ordering liquor boxes from the port, the distributors are giving information to the customs department about transferring them to other warehouses and then sending them illegally directly to the contractors. It happens that one does not have to pay custom duty for keeping liquor in the warehouse and this liquor is being sold on contract at cheap prices without any billing. Recently, cheap selling of liquor at The Theka Wine Shop was exposed and illegal foreigners were caught from one location.
According to the news of Dainik Jagran, on Tuesday, the Excise Department had seized liquor worth about Rs 90 lakh from the liquor bar The Theka near Signature Tower Chowk. Excise duty was not paid on it.
How the whole game of illegal liquor plays out in Gurugram
Actually, liquor distributors have warehouses in every city. They have to be registered with the customs department. According to the rules, as long as the liquor is kept in these godowns or warehouses, custom duty is levied on foreign liquor. Distributors inform the customs department that they have sent goods from one warehouse to another, but that warehouse is only on paper and now instead of sending the liquor to the warehouse, it is being sent directly to the liquor shops. Neither custom duty nor tax is paid to the excise department in this game.
In the case of seizure of foreign liquor from a wine shop in Gurugram, the manager and the contract owner have been arrested so far and he is a resident of Narnaul. His family once ran a grocery shop and then also ran a shoe shop. The owner had become involved in the liquor business only a few years ago. Six cases are already registered against the liquor businessman. Last year, an NIA raid was also conducted at the house of the firm’s owner.
