Hello
Jawan is produced by the state-run distillery Travancore Sugars and Chemicals Ltd, near Thiruvalla.
As per the latest decision, liquor companies should maintain a security deposit with Bevco equal to the amount of excise duty they have to pay. Firms whose deposits are lower than the duty amount should remit the difference to Bevco. This arrangement will be effective from January 15.
The Powerhouse Road outlet of the BEVCO in Thiruvananthapuram sold Rs 1.12 crore worth of liquor.
The people in the State gulped down booze worth Rs 89.52 crore on Christmas day alone as against Rs 90.03 crore same day last year.

Officials have reportedly received verbal directions from ‘certain centres’ that those who apply for bar licences should not be troubled.
The govt decided to waive the sales tax on liquor manufactured in the state. The retail price is being increased to offset the annual loss of Rs 150 crore caused by the tax waiver.
The shortage is so acute that 71 BEVCO outlets have stock of only beer and wine if the high-end liquor brands are excluded.
Instead of Bevco lodging a complaint, the affected outlets are proceeding with the cases.
The BEVCO has also informed that on account of half-year stock checks and clearance, the outlets will shut early on September 30 (Friday) - at 7 pm.
