Breakup of ₹2,002 crore of losses to exchequer caused by AAP's corrupt liquor policies according to CAG:
Taken from the executive summary shared on CAG's official site here: https://cag.gov.in/ag/new-delhi/en/audit-report/details/121510 * Further, there was revenue loss of approximately **₹ 890 crore** to the Government as it **did not retender the surrendered retail licenses.** * In spite of being aware that vends were **required to be opened in non-conforming wards** in order to achieve the objective of equitable distribution, the Department did not take timely action to work out modalities leading to non-achievement of the objective. It also resulted in loss of revenue of approximately **₹ 941 crore** due to exemptions which had to be given to the zonal licensees. * Despite being mentioned in the conditions of the Tender Document that any commercial risk shall lie with the licensee, clarification provided during the pre-bid meeting that there is no provision for force majeure and against the opinion of the Excise Department to relax the license fees, a **waiver of license fees** of **₹ 144 crore** was granted to the zonal licensees * Apart from the above three, **incorrect collection of Security Deposit** from zonal Licensees, led to loss of revenue of around **₹ 27 Crore.** **Therefore, these implementation issues of the new policy led to a loss of revenue of approximately ₹ 2,002 crore.**1
