In
early eighties the Excise Department and the
Sales Tax Department existed as “Excise and
Taxation Department”. These were segregated
into two viz Excise Department and Sales Tax
Department each headed by a Commissioner.

-
Excise related activities on IMFL.
-
Manufacture of Country Liquor at two bonded
warehouse located at
Jammu and Srinagar and its sale through
departmentally run country liquor vends by the
Excise Sub-Inspectors and Excise Guards.
In
the year 1986-87 the sale of country liquor
through departmentally run vends was dispensed
with and country liquor vends were auctioned.
The staff posted at these vends was adjusted
here and there without any re-organization.
The

stopped due to eruption of militancy.
Manufacture of country liquor at erstwhile

local distilleries.
