Delhi Excise Department Invites Applications For Hotel, Club And Restaurant Licences

The Excise Department of the Delhi government has invited applications for hotel, club and restaurant (HCR) licences before the expiry of the existing excise duty policy on September 30. The applicants will need to submit several documents, such as health and trade licences, fire safety clearance and eating house registration.

The Delhi government had extended the old excise policy by six months in March, as it had not prepared a new policy yet. The old policy was reinstated in July 2022 after the lieutenant governor recommended a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the implementation of the new policy.
