Amendment to Notifications under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act
The Tamil Nadu Home, Prohibition and Excise Department, through G.O.Ms. Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, Home, Prohibition and Excise (III), dated 21st June 2021, amends the premium brands table maintained under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937. The amendments add five brand entries and remove two brand entries under specified beverage companies, and do not contain any provision concerning land or property.
What the notifications do
The Tamil Nadu Home, Prohibition and Excise Department issued five amendments to Prohibition and Excise Department Notification No.II(1)/PE/239(d)/81, which was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary on 1st May 1981 and was subsequently amended. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendments using the power stated in the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937.
The amendments change entries in the Annexure table under the heading "PREMIUM BRANDS". They do not replace the earlier notification in full.
Changes to premium brand entries
The amendments make the following company specific changes:
- G.O.Ms. No. 14 removes "Imperial’s Gold Napoleon Reserve VSOP Brandy" from the entries under Thiruvalargal KALS Beverages Private Limited.
- G.O.Ms. No. 15 adds "Hobbs XO French Brandy" after "The Dutchman Exclusive Premium Brandy" under Thiruvalargal SNJ Distillers Private Limited.
- G.O.Ms. No. 16 removes "Le Roi XL Special Reserva Brandy" from the entries under Thiruvalargal SNJ Distillers Private Limited.
- G.O.Ms. No. 17 adds "Imperial's Oak & Sherry XR Brandy", "Imperial VS Reserve Brandy" and "Marcel XO French Brandy" after "Old Monk Lemon Original Citrus Rum" under Thiruvalargal Mohan Breweries and Distilleries Limited.
- G.O.Ms. No. 18 adds "Monocrat Premium French Brandy V.S.O.P" after "Hobbs XO French Brandy" under Thiruvalargal SNJ Distillers Private Limited.
Who is affected
The Tamil Nadu Home, Prohibition and Excise Department amendments directly concern the named beverage manufacturers and the official premium brands table. Businesses or professionals relying on that table should note which brand entries were added or removed.
Relevance to land and property
The amendments under G.O.Ms. Nos. 14 to 18 deal only with entries in a premium alcoholic beverage brands table. They do not change land classification, ownership, registration, planning permission, building controls or other property matters. A property buyer or owner therefore has no land related requirement arising from the text of these notifications.
