The Tripura Excise Act, 1987

The Tripura Excise Act, 1987 regulates the manufacture, import, export, transport, possession, and sale of alcoholic liquor and intoxicating drugs within the state of Tripura. It applies to residents, commercial manufacturers, distillers, vendors, and state excise authorities. The law establishes a framework for collecting state excise duties, granting licenses for commercial operations, prohibiting unauthorized production or distribution, and enforcing restrictions on employment and sales to minors. By empowering government authorities to monitor trade, inspect premises, and penalize illegal activities or adulteration, the Act helps generate public revenue while protecting public health, safety, and social order across the state.
