Andhra Pradesh Excise Department Re-Notifies Auction for 53 Bar Licenses
The Andhra Pradesh Excise Department has announced a re-notification for the auction of 53 bar licenses. Starting today, online applications will be accepted, with a submission deadline set for December 22. Applications will be reviewed on December 23, and the auction is scheduled to take place on December 24, from 9 AM to 12 PM.
Successful bidders will be granted licenses by the authorities, which will remain valid until August 2025, according to officials from the Excise Department.
This re-notification was prompted by the fact that some bar licenses were not sold during the previous auction, necessitating a new auction process.
In regard to the non-refundable license fees, the department has categorized them based on population:
- Areas with a population of up to 50,000: ₹5 lakh
- Areas with a population between 50,000 and 5 lakh: ₹7.5 lakh
- Areas with a population exceeding 5 lakh: ₹10 lakh
