DIVYA DELHI : Delhi has introduced an app-based facility for online liquor booking, allowing customers to reserve bottles digitally and collect them from designated liquor stores within 48 hours of placing their bookings. The initiative aims to make the purchasing process more convenient by enabling consumers to check availability and book their preferred products before visiting a store. Under the reported system, customers must collect their booked bottles within the stipulated 48-hour window. The deadline is intended to ensure that reservations are not left pending indefinitely and that available stock can be managed efficiently by participating retailers. The digital facility could offer greater convenience to customers by reducing the time spent searching for specific brands at retail outlets. It may also help stores manage demand and organise the collection of reserved products more systematically. However, customers should check the app’s terms and conditions, including the applicable collection rules, payment requirements and the consequences of failing to collect a booking within the prescribed period. The availability of products may depend on the participating outlets and their existing stock. The launch marks another step towards the use of digital platforms for consumer services in the national capital. Its effectiveness will depend on the app’s accessibility, the participation of liquor retailers and the clarity of the booking and collection process. Customers are advised to use the designated platform and follow Delhi’s applicable excise regulations while making purchases. Further official details regarding the app’s features, participating stores and operational guidelines should be verified through the relevant Delhi government or excise department announcements.
