Tamil Nadu TASMAC Digitises Liquor Stock Orders Statewide

Tamil Nadu TASMAC Digitises Liquor Stock Orders Statewide
TN digitises liquor stock supply · thehansindia.com

Tamil Nadu’s liquor shops are changing how they request new stock.

From September 1, supervisors will use handheld devices instead of paper forms.

The devices will show how much of each brand and pack size a shop can request.

These amounts will be based on sales in that area.

Supervisors cannot lower the system’s starting quantities.

They can increase them by up to 20 percent if customers need more.

They can also add registered brands that are popular locally.

Each final request will need an OTP sent to the supervisor’s registered phone.

TASMAC says the change should reduce paperwork and help prevent supply delays.
