Tasmac issues strict guidelines to curb liquor overcharging at retail outlets

Tamil Nadu's state-run liquor retailer Tasmac has introduced revised disciplinary guidelines targeting overcharging at its retail shops. The new rules were formally issued through an official circular on Friday. The move follows a Madras High Court order dated June 12, which directed action against MRP violations. Under the updated framework, a third violation of maximum retail price rules can result in the dismissal of the concerned staff. The guidelines aim to protect consumers from being charged above the legally mandated price for liquor.
