I was a permit holder and by oversight I had not renew the permit in time. Time lapse three months. I went to the department for renewal of the permit. My age 72 years holding permit since last 10 years.
The head of the Prohibition, a DSP by designation. Gave me that since it was not renewed on time. I have to resubmit myself for medical report of Surgeon Genral, other than usual KYC proof, last three years Income Tax returns, to ascertain that financially I can support my need for three units permit per month liquor permit. (One Unit means i liter bottle of spirit, or ten bottles 750 ml beer bottles.)
The clerk at the desk said it was matter of renewal, but the 'Officer' concerned said there is a change in the address so a new fresh permit.
Rs 6000 to arrange for medical clearance, from Civil Hospital Surgeon. Rs 8000 for the 'Sahib' to stamp 'as authentic', IC Tax returns. Rs 2000 to clerks to do the paper work. Rs 1000 official fee, stamped receipt. Rs 1000 baksheesh for peons to get Xerox copies etc. On payment of the sum 3 year 3 unit liquor permit was issued within a week, home delivered.
