TASMAC Launches Online Liquor Booking; Madras HC Orders Billing for All Sales
Tamil Nadu's TASMAC has launched an online liquor booking portal allowing customers aged 21 and above to check stock, pay digitally, and collect orders from selected outlets using a QR code, though home delivery is not available. Separately, the Madras High Court has directed TASMAC to maintain bill books and issue bills for every liquor bottle sold to prevent overcharging, following complaints about excess charges at several retail shops. TASMAC has complied by producing stock and sales records but lacked bill books until the court's order.
