You are trying to be in a business which is a death zone considering the fact that you wanted to do this in India. It is impossible to sell liquor online in India. India is a country where almost all states has its own law to deal the subject matter of liquor and has different taxation system for liquor. Much of the States in India has completely ban the selling of liquor. States like Bihar has a law which punishes with an imprisonment of 10 years if you are found selling liquor over there. There was a time when some of the entrepreneurs ventured in to this business but then the government came back extremely hard hitting over the subject. You may read this article - http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/click-for-a-hic-order-your-liquor-online-114090600537_1.html and then this too - http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-seven-arrested-for-selling-liquor-online-crackdown-on-1999658 I will personally suggest you to not to think of any such venture as you will be harassed like anything by legal enforcement agencies in India.
