Fall in Delhi govt's excise revenue 'inexplicable' as sales rise: Report

The excise revenue of the Delhi government in the first quarter of the current fiscal year remained flat compared to 2019-20 despite a steep rise in whiskey and wine sales

The office of Delhi's lieutenant governor on Sunday said that the state government's data on excise revenue collection is wrong. The Delhi government said that its excise revenue increased by Rs 1,484 crore in the Q1FY23, owing to the implementation of the revised excise policy, according to a report in Times of India.
 
This came two days after the LG's office recommended a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the Delhi government’s excise policy.
