The Excise and Taxation Department has to give due weightage to the health and well being of the citizens of the State. At the same time, the department has also to ensure that revenue interests of the government are not compromised.

Therefore, a fine balance has to be struck between the diverse interests of all the stakeholders. It is also to be simultaneously ensured that the Excise Policy has to be attractive enough for wholehearted participation of the private sector players like the manufacturers and wholesalers and retailers.

The Excise Policy should also aim at achieving and strengthening the long term objectives of breaking the cartels and unethical dominance of liquor mafia, broad-basing the trade by facilitating more competition, simplifying/unifying the structure of wholesale supply of liquor by giving wholesale licenses to retail licensees, establishing a transparent system of allotment of retail outlets, imposing complete check on manufacture/sale of spurious liquor, thwarting attempts of evasion of Excise levies, plugging the leakage/pilferage, optimization of revenue, creating ambience for legitimate and responsible drinking and providing good quality liquor at reasonable price to those who drink.

Maximization of government revenue to generate resources that can be utilized to finance developmental projects is always accorded a high priority on the agenda by the policy planners.

However, when it comes to framing a policy such as Excise Policy, social considerations and ramifications also assume paramount importance.

The Excise Policy for the year 2015-16 aims at weeding out the deviations, providing greater stability in the trade, catering to the emerging requirement in a fast changing scenario and clientele and enhancing government revenue.
