I am not sure about the hookah part of it The last time I heard BBMP was going to ban Hookah joints. With reference to sale of draught beer
There is no eligibility criteria for acquiring license
2. To sell draught beer, you have a separate license. If you want to server bottled beer and hard liquor, you will need to get a Liquor license(CL-9)
3. The license to sell draught beer which would cost you about 20-25 lakhs to purchase, or to lease it, it would cost you about 10-12Lakhs and a monthly lease amount of about 30k-50k.
The license to sell bottled beer and hard liquor would be about 60-70 lakhs. The deposit for the lease would be around 40L and the monthly lease amount would be around 50k -2.5L depending on the current location where the license is being used.
Presently the government in Karnataka(assuming you are planning to open in Karnataka) is not issuing
new licenses, hence the only way you can startup is take a license on lease or buy it from someone else who has an existing license.
