New excise policy: Liquor shops to be allotted via e-lottery system

The Uttar Pradesh cabinet on Wednesday approved the new excise policy for 2025-26 providing for an e-lottery system for allotment of liquor shops across the state. Those aware of the development said under the new excise policy, one person would be allowed to submit only one application with a prescribed non-refundable security. One person would not be entitled to get more than two shops allocated and the allotment of shops would be done through e-lottery. There are indications that the state government would present the state’s annual budget for 2025-26 on February 19 though the business advisory committee of the house would give final shape to the agenda.
