The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac), a government-owned entity responsible for liquor sales, is set to undergo a complete computerization process. This transformation will encompass all aspects of its operations, including stock indenting, transportation from distilleries, and the entire sales process.
Multiple grievances were lodged against Tasmac employees for overcharging tipplers beyond the maximum retail price (MRP). In cases where the buyers insisted on receiving the correct change, they were denied the liquor altogether.
As a result, numerous outlets witnessed confrontations and physical altercations due to these incidents.
According to sources within Tasmac, it has been revealed that the invoicing and payment processes will also be computerized. This development will enable buyers to receive printed bills for their purchases at retail shops.
Additionally, the inventory throughout the state can be monitored in real time by utilizing a QR code system.
The implementation of this latest measure will effectively resolve various initial challenges associated with the operations of the state government-controlled cooperative.
According to reliable sources, the public sector undertaking Railtel (NS:RAIT) has secured a contract worth INR 294 crore for the project.
In the fiscal year 2022-23, Tasmac recorded an annual turnover of INR 44,000 crore.
