reported an increase of 104%, or 98 billion, from its target of 242 billion rupees for 2025, as of May 31 this year, the department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was expected to earn 240 billion rupees from liquor and 2 billion from beedis through this target, and it has been revealed that the revenue was 88 billion rupees as of May 31 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials said that the main reason for this was the increase in revenue for the government due to the withdrawal of many people from the illegal liquor industry with the coming to power of the new government, and that such raids are currently ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this regard, this matter was revealed by the officials of the Excise Department at the meeting of the Committee on Ways and Means held in Parliament on June 6, 2025, which was chaired by the Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officials also stated that the QR code sticker system that has been initiated to identify counterfeit liquor is being implemented successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also say that no counterfeit sticker has been found so far under this system, which was introduced in late 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, only officials can check the QR code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Minister points out the need to open it to the general public in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the Minister also emphasized the need to check the presence of counterfeit liquor bottles in supermarkets, hotels and outlets through sudden raids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the increase in alcohol prices is leading to an increase in the consumption of illegal alcohol, attention was also focused on the possibility of producing quality alcohol at a reasonable price as a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0dc3\u0dd4\u0dbb\u0dcf\u0db6\u0daf\u0dd4
