The Delhi government on Tuesday clarified that it has not issued any licence for home delivery of liquor in the national capital through online or any mobile app, but only amended an existing provision in the excise law. A fresh statement issued by the Chief Minister`s Office on Tuesday evening said: "L-13 is an existing licence which has been amended. No licence for L-13 or home delivery licence has been issued."

Delhi government`s clarification on this issue came hours after it was reported that under its new excise policy, the Arvind Kejriwal government has allowed home delivery of liquor in Delhi. Contrary to the statement, the official notification issued by Delhi government regarding the new excise policy on May 31 read: "Retail vend of Indian liquor for and home delivery for L-13, retail vend of foreign liquor for home delivery to the holders of Licence in form L-13 (f)."
