New Delhi: There has been a steep decline in liquor sales during the Corona period. In the first quarter of the current fiscal, liquor sales have fallen by 29 per cent. Everything remained closed during the tight lockdown for the first two months. The sale of liquor was then allowed, although state governments imposed corona cess. Corona Cess is very high in many states due to which prices went up and sales decreased. This information has been given by CIABC.
The CIABC report said that sales in states such as Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Rajasthan have been affected more because tax was imposed more here. According to the data, the states where Corona cess was more heavily applied to liquor, sales have declined more.
