Application of provisions of section 150, Act 8 of 1978, to malt liquor EXCISE (MALT LIQUORS) ACT, 1890 13 of 1890 [] STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS "Hitherto, except in the Madras Presidency, no excise duty per gallon has been levied on beer manufactured in British India. The manufacture of beer in India in large quantities and according to what may be called European methods is of recent origin, and consequently the existing excise law in many provinces makes no provision for the levy of such duty. The quantity manufactured for sale to the public has not hitherto been large enough to render it expedient to resort to legislation to impose an excise duty. But the industry is a growing one, and it is considered that the time has now come when an excise duty should be generally imposed. The Bombay and Madras Excise Acts give power for the levy of such a duty. The present Bill gives similar powers for the areas to which the Bengal Act, No. VII (B.C.) of 1878, and the Northern India Excise Act, No. XXII of 1881 extend. The rate of duty imposed by the Bill is that leviable under the Tariff Act, power being reserved to reduce the rate to any lower amount."-Gazette of India, 1890, Part V, page 72. 1.
