FOREWORD

As per item 8 of State List (List II) of the Constitution of India, the power to legislate on IntoxicatingLiquor (its production, manufacture, possession, transport, purchase and sale) lies with the StateGovernment. As per item 51 of the aforesaid List, the State Government has the power to collect Dutiesof Excise on alcoholic liquors for human consumption.

The policy of the State Government is not to encourage indiscriminate growth in consumption ofintoxicants but to socially regulate it in a manner such that even with respect to the existing pattern ofconsumption, drinking is conducted in a safe manner i.e. the persons who are in the habit of consumingintoxicants turn away from the consumption of illicitly distilled & or non-duty paid intoxicants to sociallyregulated consumption of intoxicants from legitimate sources which ensure safety against health hazardsand lead to a consequential growth in revenue as well.

The activity of the Excise Directorate centre around the enforcement of regulations relating to themanufacture, production, possession, distribution, transport, selling and buying of Liquor and otherintoxicants. The Excise Directorate strives to achieve the twin needs of preventing the manufacture,supply and distribution illicit/counterfeit/spurious and or non-duty paid intoxicants and attaining thefull realisable revenue potential of the State since prohibition is not a viable option.

The financial year 2016-17 saw the circulation of mandate of the establishment of “ChemicalExamination Laboratory” in every distillery and manufactory of potable liquor , setting up of a newbeverages corporation namely West Bengal State Beverages Corporation Ltd to take over the distributionof liquor throughout the state of West Bengal to curb the problem of illicit liquor ,introduction of digitisedflowmeters in the distilleries to scarp human intervention in physical issue of spirit from the distilleryand introduction circle level access to e-Governance applications through our departmental website.

The Annual Administrative Report of the Excise Directorate for the financial year 2016-17 is an effortto outline the activities of this Directorate and its field officers during the period both in qualitative andquantitative terms.

LICENSING OF COUNTRY SPIRIT BOTTLING PLANTS

Prior to 2010 the pricing, supply and distribution of Country Spirit was under exclusivegovernment control. The bottlers of Country Spirit were also awarded exclusive privilegefor supply of Country Spirit in a particular area or district. The retailers were bound tosource their supplies of country spirit from the select bottler enjoying exclusive privilegein the area. However, since December 2010 the country spirit segment has been deregulatedto an extent. New country spirit rules were published by the government vide NotificationNo. 1320-Ex dated 12.11.2010 and the practice of granting exclusive privilege was doneaway with vide Notification No. 1321-Ex dated 12.11.2010. Government control overpricing of country spirit was also deregulated vide Notification No. 1322-Ex dated12.11.2010. With the opening up of this segment new bottlers have been emerging and acompetitive market has led to a considerable growth in consumption of country spiritover the last three years. With the abolition of exclusive privilege the retailer are now atwill to do business with any bottler and such an arrangement has also prevented themarkets from going dry at times due to short supply which was the case earlier. With ahealthy supply side the risk of illicit liquor finding its way into the markets for meetingunfulfilled demand has also been minimised.

LICENSING OF FOREIGN LIQUOR MANUFACTORIES

Persons desirous of having a license to run a foreign liquor manufactory in West Bengal are required to

apply in writing to the Excise Commissioner, West Bengal along with non-refundable application money

of Rs. 50,000/- and requisite documents including documents in support of financial capability. If the

Excise Commissioner is satisfied with the financial capability and other particulars and documents, he

recommends the proposal to the State Government for issuance of Letter of Intent (LOI). Once the State

Government issues the LOI, the Excise Commissioner asks the applicant to deposit earnest money of

Rs. 5,00,000/- to the Collector and on submission of original challan showing payment of earnest

money, the LOI is issued to the applicant. The applicant has to submit the application for license along

with requisite documents to the Collector within six months of the issuance of LOI failing which it

stands cancelled and earnest money forfeited to the Government. On receipt of the application for

license the Collector examines the suitability of the site, the building and other points and sends the

application along with his opinion to the Excise Commissioner who, after such further enquiry as he

deems necessary, forwards the same to the State Government along with his opinion. Once the State

Government sanctions the grant of license the applicant is called upon to make arrangements for the

construction of the manufactory within six months of such communication. After completion of

construction the applicant submits two fresh copies of plan to the Collector who causes verification of

the same and sends one copy to the Excise Commissioner for examination. The applicant is further

bound to conform to any instruction from the Excise Commissioner regarding any addition or alteration

to the buildings, vats or other permanent apparatus or plant which he considers necessary. Only after

compliance of the instructions, if any, the Excise Commissioner asks the Collector to grant license to the

applicant. Before the license to work the manufactory is granted the manufacturer has to deposit a

security of Rs. 50,000/- and initial grant fee as applicable against the installed capacity of the plant in

addition to execution of bond as prescribed.

DISTILLERY

At present, only one grain based distillery is functioning in the State catering to only fraction of the totaldemand of rectified spirit in the State. As a consequence, the State is dependent almost entirely on otherStates for meeting its requirement of rectified spirit for manufacture of country spirit, coloured and/orflavoured spirit and foreign liquor. It is also completely dependent on other States for meeting itsrequirements of Extra Neutral Alcohol/Grain Neutral Spirit and alcohol for manufacture of medicinaland toilet preparations and for meeting its requirements of ethanol for blending with petrol as per theEthanol Blending Programme of the Government of India. Such large scale dependence on importsmakes the State vulnerable to the risk of not being able to maintain a continuous and uninterruptedsupply of alcohol in general and of rectified spirit and/or Extra Neutral Alcohol and/or Grain NeutralSpirit (GNS) in particular. Besides, such large scale imports necessarily give rise to avoidable regulatorymeasures relating to administration of permits and passes for preventing leakages in revenue. There is,therefore, a need to create conditions whereby the State Government can source its entire requirementsof potable alcohol from within the State and avoid imports, so that leakages in the process of outsourcingof spirit can be plugged efficiently.

The availability of broken rice in our state and other coerce cereals in other states indicates that there issufficient scope for grain based distilleries for

a. Right use of broken rice

b. Employment generation

c. Self sufficiency in availability of alcohol for potable and non-potable purposes

d. Improving collection of revenue by doing away with imports and consequent leakages andavoidable regulatory overheads in imports.

e. The export and employment prospects of the sector and its potential as a major agro-basedindustry are high, particularly since oil companies have initiated efforts to developalcohol-based substitutes for motor spirit.

At present any person who desires to setup a distillery in this State has to apply in a plain paper to theExcise Commissioner, West Bengal The applicant needs to specify in this application the exact purposefor which the distillery is proposed to be set up and the details of nature of business, his proof offinancial capacity of investment and their solvency ,current income tax and professional tax clearancecertificate, copy of the documents showing the applicants right, title & interest on the proposed areaand a project report of the proposed distillery. If the Excise Commissioner is satisfied with theapplication, he/she recommends the proposal to the State Government for issuance of “PrincipleAgreement” to this proposal.Once the State Government agreed to this proposal, the Excise

60


Commissioner asks the applicant to deposit an application for license for onward transmission to theCollector of the concerned district. On receipt of the application for license the Collector examinesthe suitability of the site, the building and other points including the clearance of the project regardingpollution from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India and sends the applicationalong with his opinion to the Excise Commissioner who, after such further enquiry as he deemsnecessary, forwards the same to the State Government along with his opinion. Once the StateGovernment sanctions the grant of license the applicant is called upon to make arrangements for theconstruction of the manufactory within six months of such communication. After completion ofconstruction the applicant submits two fresh copies of plan to the Collector who causes verificationof the same and sends one copy to the Excise Commissioner for examination. The applicant is furtherbound to conform to any instruction from the Excise Commissioner regarding any addition or alterationto the buildings, vats or other permanent apparatus or plant which he considers necessary. Only aftercompliance of the instructions, if any, the Excise Commissioner asks the Collector to grant license tothe applicant. At present the non-refundable application fee for grant of license to set up a distillery isRs10,000/-,proof of payment of this fee is to be submitted with the application and the initial grant feefor grant of license to set up a distillery is 25,00,000/-.

NOTES ON MOLASASES

The West Bengal Molasses Control Act, 1973, defines molasses as the final residue by-product of factoriesmanufacturing cane,or by refining gur, by means of vacuum pans and includes molasses prepared byopen pan process from the sugarcane with the aid of power. In the case of “Krishi Utpadan MandiSamiti & Anr.etc -vs- M/s Sankar industries & Ors etc” the Hon’ble Supreme Court observed asfollows:”…… Sugarcane is an agricultural produce out of which juice is extracted. The said juice getsthickened by dehydration and when it reaches a particular pigment, it takes the form of rab which issemi solid form of sugarcane juice. After the process of boiling this rab is put in crystallizer where it isallowed to get cooled and crystals are formed when the same is rotated in the crystallizer .The crystallizedrub is then put into centrifugal machine in which through the process of infusion of sulphur, the sugarcanejuice is cleaned and whitened. The rab which is not put into centrifugal machine but is dehydrated andis allowed to be hardened by the open pan process takes the shape of gur which is normally used forhome consumption. The rab which is not allowed to be hardened is also sold semi-solid form but thosepersons who desires to make further profits put the rab into centrifugal machine and by the process ofinfusion of sulphur they obtain khandsari in the dry powder/crystalised form and the waste of rab whichis obtained in the liquid is known as molasses. The residue which is known as molasses is furtherutilized by many people by boiling in the open pans and the same is again re-processed by cleaning anddehydrating and later by sulphination is taken in powder form. The first process out of molasses of rabin the semi solid form is also sold in the market because their inferior quality contains less content ofsucrose and is called rab-galwat. Rab-salwat is also prepared by the same process out of molasses andis futrter inferior quality of rab. It has also been submitted that so far as gur –lauta or other forms of gurlike kala gur, gur-budha etc. are also prepared from the molasses by re-boiling the molasses in the openpans which is allowed to thicken after dehydration in the boiling pans.” So molasses is basically thewaste of the rab, which is obtained in the liquid form. Molasses, therefore is quite different in physicaland chemical properties from rab (which is semi solid form of sugarcane juice),rab salwat or rab galwat(inferior quality of rab), Molasses is liquid in form ,it can be pumped and transported in Tanker Truckswhile rab,rab salwat or rab galwat cannot be pumped like a liquid. So rab, rab salwat or rab galwat areinvariably carried in tins or other containers but not in tanker-trucks.

As per the provisions of the West Bengal Molasses Control Act, 1973 and the Control Orders madethere-under import of molasses (of quantity exceeding 5 MT) can only be allowed when suchconsignment is accompanied with a valid NOC and transport pass issued by the Excise Commissioner.In the financial year 2015-16 NOCs were given in 13cases for import of molasses from Nepal amountingto 2370 MT of molasses and 22 cases for import of molasses from other states within India amountingto 7110 MT molasses .

CHEMICAL EXAMINATION LABORATORYThe Chemical Examination Laboratory has a Chemical Examiner at its apex, with two Dy. ChemicalExaminers and nine Assistant Chemical Examiners working under him. There are also a few laboratoryassistants, a store keeper and Group D staffs to assist the analyses of samples in the laboratory. TheChemical Examiner also gets the support of Office Superintendent, Head Assistant and other U.D. andL.D. Assistants.

In the year 2007, the Govt. decided to shift the Chemical Examination Laboratory from its erstwhilepremises at the Medical College and Hospital, to the excise building at 46, and 46A, Christopher Road,Kolkata – 46. Several old and unanalyzed samples could no however be removed from the laboratorypremises at the Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata, due to paucity of space at the new premises. TheChemical Examination laboratory started to function at its new site from 28.1.2009.

Things however went wrong very soon, since the representatives of the Fire Department visited theLaboratory and instructed to stop the use of fire necessary for distilling the I.D. Liquor or Rectified Spiritsent to the Laboratory for analysis. It may be mentioned here that though the Fire Department issuedinstructions mentioned above, necessary steps were taken to install fire fighting systems on the adviceof the Fire Department. To overcome the impasse, the Chemical Examiner started using hot plates as asubstitute of gas burners. The rate of analysis of samples however, did not pick-up and the rate ofdisposal never exceeded the inflow of the number of samples in the laboratory.

e-GOVERNANCE IN THE EXCISE DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF WEST BENGALDURING 2016-17

Backdrop:

Prior to 2011 digital inclusion in the Excise Directorate was minimal. Computerisation was by andlarge limited to the directorate headquarters and some district head offices. All administrative processeswere manual and hard file based and thereby time consuming with ample scope for manual inaccuracies.In order to address these issues and improve service delivery, avid initiatives were taken for e-Governancein the Excise Department under the project e-Abgari. Since 2011 the department has come a long wayin e-Governance and the financial year 2016-17 has seen digitization of a host of services offered by thedepartment that has considerably reduced processing time as well as scope for human error whileaugmenting revenue generation as a corollary.

Achievements in 2016-2017

1. Circle level access to eGovernance applications: The Officers-in-Charge of Excise Circles, whichis the grass root level of Excise Administration, were given access to various e-Governanceapplications like Excise Offender Database Management and verification of monthly revenue andconsumption returns filed by retailers.

2. Excise Offender Database Management: An e Abgari module has been developed and deployedwhereby data on Excise offenders / arrestees are being regularly entered and updated. This providesa history sheet to officers across the organisation for enhanced coordination and handling of crime.

3. Integration with Kolkata Police: The application and processes related to late closing of bar licenses,including NOC from Kolkata Police authorities wherever applicable, have been automated throughdeployment of a dedicated e-Abgari software module.

4. Import and Export Permits and Passes for Molasses: All processes related to import and export ofmolasses have been automated through deployment of e-Abgari software modules.

5. Criminal Case Information System: The Criminal Case Information System was revamped toautomate all processes related to prosecution of criminal cases instituted by the officers of theExcise Directorate, including preparation of Preliminary Reports, Reports to Magistrates etc. alongwith online Summons to Witness generation facilities.

6. Spirit Accounting System: The electronic Spirit Accounting System and Spirit Inventory ManagementSystem was revamped to make it more efficient and error free.

7. NIC E-Office: NIC eOffice solution was implemented at the Excise Directorate making it the firstdirectorate in West Bengal to go paperless. Under the new system all files are handled electronicallywith workflow driven seamless integration system having file tracking facilities.

8. Microsoft Office 365: Cloud based collaborative computing solutions were implemented connectingthe Excise Directorate with the various District and Division offices.
