How It Works

  1. 1

    Jurisdiction and category assessment

    We identify the correct state excise authority, confirm the applicable license category for your business type, and review the current fee schedule and zoning rules applicable to your proposed premises.

  2. 2

    Zoning and locality clearance verification

    We verify that your premises comply with the minimum distance requirement from prohibited institutions and obtain or advise on any pre-application NOCs required from the municipality or local body.

  3. 3

    Document compilation and application drafting

    We compile all required entity, personal, and premises documents, prepare the prescribed application form, and draft any accompanying affidavits or declarations required by the excise authority.

  4. 4

    Application submission and acknowledgement

    We file the application on the state excise portal or physically with the District Excise Office, pay the prescribed application fee, and obtain an acknowledgement receipt with a reference number.

  5. 5

    Site inspection and police verification support

    We coordinate with the excise inspector during the premises inspection, ensure all physical requirements (storage room, CCTV, signage) are in place, and follow up on the police antecedent verification.

  6. 6

    License receipt and compliance briefing

    Upon approval we collect the license certificate, advise on display obligations, storage conditions, record-keeping requirements, and renewal timelines to maintain continuous compliance.
