There are many people in almost every state of India who are fond of alcohol. People of various countries including India like to drink even the most expensive brands of alcohol. But have you ever wondered why the price of alcohol is different in different states? Today we will tell you in which state of India the most expensive alcohol is sold and what is the reason behind it.
Liquor
Today drinking alcohol is very common all over the world. In India itself, people consume everything from English to country liquor. Some people drink occasionally, while others drink every day. But do you know why the price of alcohol is different in different states? The main reason for this is the exclusion of alcohol from GST. Yes, just like there is a tax system on petrol, diesel etc., the same is the case with alcohol.
Let us tell you that the government's one country-one tax policy does not apply to alcohol. Because of this, the tax on alcohol is not the same across the country. Tax on alcohol is determined by each state. The state government is planning to impose its own tax on alcohol. This is the reason why alcohol is cheap in some states like Goa, while in many states including Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, it is expensive due to high taxes on alcohol.
Liquor is expensive in these states!
According to the information, alcohol is the most expensive in the state of Karnataka. Here you will get a bottle of alcohol for an average of Rs 513, which is Rs 100 in Goa. In Karnataka, a tax of Rs 83 is levied on a bottle of Rs 513. Apart from this, the second name in the list is Telangana, where you will get to buy a bottle of alcohol for an average of Rs 246. Here a tax of Rs 68 is levied on a bottle of alcohol. However, changes have been made in these taxes under the new rules. Apart from this, liquor bottles are quite expensive in Maharashtra.
Alcohol is cheap in Goa
The cheapest liquor in the country is found in Goa. If you have been to Goa, you must have noticed that liquor is easily available everywhere there. Goa liquor is dependent on tourism, this is one of the reasons why the tax on liquor by the Goa state government is very low. Due to the low tax imposed on liquor by the state government, all types of liquor are available very cheap in Goa.
