Delhi Requires Event-Wise Liquor Permits for Banquet Halls and Farmhouses
The Delhi Excise Department has mandated that banquet halls and farmhouses hosting weddings, parties, or social functions must obtain a temporary P-10 permit costing Rs 15,000 per event to serve liquor. A special registration camp will run from October 27 to November 16 to facilitate one-time registration on the e-excise portal, streamlining future permit approvals. Liquor can only be served to individuals over 25, in designated areas separate from public view. Violations may lead to action under the Delhi Excise Act.
