Question

Do I need a permit to have Alcohol in any restaurant in India?

Answer 1

What?!? are you kidding?!?

The restaurant needs to have a permit to have a bar in it, not the customers!

If you're above 18, have the money to have a couple of drinks responsibly, go ahead and enjoy yourself!

Answer 2

As long as the Restaurant you go to has a permit to serve alcohol and before 11 pm..U can get sloshed. :)

Answer 3

almost all states have prohibition policy and anyone who wants to consume liquor needs a permission. but most of the bars inside residential hotels or stand alone restaurants provide temporary licences before order your drink.

Answer 4

No,you don't need permit for taking alcohol in resturent but the resturent should must have permit to have a bar

and this depends upon government.

Answer 5

Prohibition of alcohol is decided by the state government in India & is applicable to the the particular state only. On & Off the law is changed as per the ruling state government which is considered as the wish of the majority of people in that state.[Women organisations consider the alcohol consuption by their men as vice since their bread winner becomes addicted & they find their family geting ruined.There is also what is called as country liquor & it is normally produced unauthorised way in the village areas by a crude proceedure with chemical additives to get good kick. Many a times people die after consuming.]Considering these aspects & the people in the region, the law comes in to effect.[However all state governments are very much interested to allow free liquor as they get large revenue & there are big liquor manufacturers who influence the government].India has people from very poor background & the new rich/ affluent society existing side by side.This is the background in brief reagrding requirement of permit.For the balancing act, government allows permit where there is prohibition in the particular state.Otherwise all other places no restriction exists to have alcohol.
