Tamil Nadu's TASMAC Launches Online Liquor Booking and Court Orders Billing Transparency
Tamil Nadu's TASMAC has launched an online liquor booking portal, Tasmace2e.in, allowing customers aged 21 and above to check live stock, pay digitally, and collect orders from selected outlets using a QR code. The service does not offer home delivery but aims to reduce queues and prevent overcharging. Separately, the Madras High Court has directed TASMAC to maintain bill books and issue bills for every liquor purchase to ensure transparency and address complaints of excess charges at retail shops.
