TN liquor utility to be fully computerised

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac), a state-run body that deals with the sale of liquor, will now be fully computerised. From raising an indent for stock, transporting it from distilleries and up to the point of sales, the entire operation will become computerised. There were several complaints against Tasmac employees charging more than the MRP from tipplers and if they buyer insisted on the change, then he is not given the liquor. This led to confrontation and physical assaults in several outlets. Sources in Tasmac said that invoicing and payments will also be computerised leading to buyers getting printed bills for their purchase at retail shops. Cashless payment modes will also be implemented, the sources added.
