In identifying that carrying liquor across state borders in India is a legally sensitive issue due to each state having its own excise laws.

Under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937, any person who is found to be in possession of alcohol without a valid permit or license can be fined and/or imprisoned. The quantum of the fine may vary based on the quantity of alcohol carried and other factors.

Therefore, if you have been charged with a fine for carrying liquor from Kerala to Tamil Nadu without the required permit or license, you have committed an offence under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937, and you will be liable to pay the fine imposed by the police.

Hi, If you are in possession upto 3 Litres with Bill from any authorised outlet of BEVCO, Supply Co, Military Canteen etc; you are entitled to carry Liquor inside our country as it deems that its for personal consumption. This is the existing and prevailing law. Hence, I feel its a good case against the Police and if you want to proceed further, if you wish, you can contact me on phone.
