In his column for The Financial Express, Yatin Patil of Vintage Wines has some tips for the government:
"It would help if
the MRP of liquor is made uniform across the country, and there is
consensus among states to bring about a uniform duty structure under
four heads—excise & countervailing duty, sales tax, licence fee and
label registration charge. The MRP must be mentioned on the bottle and
sales tax is should be charged on the MRP mentioned. Consumers will be
more comfortable with the fact that they are buying the same product in
different places at the same price. Not only will it affect prices but
also the product will become consistent. The uniform duty structure
will also stabilise the differential pricing in various states due to
the tax structure."
