Delhi Government Launches Liquor Booking App, Buyers Can Now Order Online

New Delhi: Now, you can find relief from standing in long lines at liquor stores in Delhi. The Delhi government's Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) has launched a new mobile app called Delhi Liquor Booking. It allows you to pre-book your favorite liquor and make online payments. This means you'll have the option to select your favorite brand before you even arrive at the store.

However, this doesn't mean the liquor will be delivered directly to your doorstep. Even after booking online, you'll still need to visit the store to collect the bottle. Customers must collect the liquor from their chosen store within 48 hours by showing the QR code they receive after payment. The app aims to reduce crowding at stores and save customers time spent shopping. Furthermore, this feature can also help keep bills and pricing information clear.

Liquor must be taken from the shop within 48 hours

Those purchasing liquor through this app should keep one important thing in mind: booking and payment can be made online, but home delivery of liquor will not be available. Customers will need to visit their chosen DSIIDC store to complete their order. After payment is made, a special QR code will be displayed in the app. Upon arrival at the store, the customer must show this code to verify the booking and deliver the bottle. This will take 48 hours from the date of booking. Failure to pick up the liquor within the stipulated time may result in the order being cancelled. Therefore, it's important to ensure you can arrive at the store on time before making a booking.

How will liquor be booked on the app?

The Delhi Liquor Booking app allows customers to view information about liquor available at nearby liquor stores. This can make choosing their preferred brand easier. After selecting a brand, they must make an online payment. Upon completion, a QR code will be generated, which can be shown at the store counter to complete the order. Initially, approximately 208 DSIIDC retail stores in Delhi have been connected to this system. Therefore, before using the app, it's important to check whether your desired liquor is available at the selected store. You should also check the store's address and arrival time.

Age and quantity rules for purchasing alcohol

Not everyone can use this app. According to the rules governing alcohol purchases in Delhi, one must be at least 25 years old to register and book on the app. There are also limits on purchase quantities. According to the information provided, a user can book a maximum of 9 liters of whiskey or other spirits and 18 liters of beer through the app. Therefore, keep your needs and limits in mind before placing an order.

There will also be an option to cancel the order

If the customer changes their mind before picking up the liquor, the option to cancel the order will be available on the app. However, once the bottle is picked up or the sale is finalized, it cannot be returned. Therefore, it's best to double-check the brand, quantity, and order details before making a payment.

Currently, customers using Android phones can download the Delhi Liquor Booking app from the Google Play Store. Overall, this feature can be useful for those who want to book their liquor in advance instead of waiting in line at the store. However, before booking, be sure to understand the store's availability, the 48-hour deadline, and the rules surrounding the purchase.
