Tasmac Launches Online Liquor Ordering Portal for Customers Tasmac, the state-owned liquor distribution company in Tamil Nadu, has introduced a new online portal, Tasmace2e.in, enabling customers to order liquor remotely. The platform allows users to check the availability of their preferred brands at nearby outlets, place orders, and collect them using a QR code. This initiative aims to streamline the purchasing process while ensuring compliance with legal age restrictions and security protocols. To use the portal, customers must first verify their age, confirming they are above the legal drinking age of 21. The platform features a Shop Locator tool, enabling users to find nearby Tasmac outlets within a specified radius of 5 to 25 kilometers. Alternatively, customers can search for a specific shop by its number or district. This flexibility ensures accessibility for users across different locations within the state. Once a preferred outlet is selected, the portal displays the liquor brands available at that location. Users can browse the stock, add items to their cart, and proceed to checkout. The payment process requires entering a mobile number, which is verified via an OTP (One-Time Password) to confirm the customer’s identity. After successful payment, the system generates a receipt containing a QR code. Customers must visit the selected outlet on the same day and present the QR code at the billing counter to collect their order. Tasmac has emphasized that orders not collected within the same day will be canceled, with a Rs 10 fee deducted from the total amount. The remaining balance will be refunded to the customer. This policy ensures timely collection and reduces the risk of inventory discrepancies. The portal also outlines procedures for Tasmac sales staff handling online orders.#tamil_nadu #qr_code #tasmac #tasmace2e_in #online_ordering
Tamil Nadu Introduces Online Liquor Booking App to Combat Overcharging The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (Tasmac) is set to launch a mobile application on Thursday to address the issue of overcharging in liquor sales. The initiative, which will be available across all 4,038 retail liquor outlets in the state, allows customers to check prices, place orders, and make payments online before visiting physical stores. This system aims to eliminate price manipulation by ensuring transparency and reducing the need for in-person transactions. The app will enable users to locate their nearest Tasmac outlet, view available liquor brands, and confirm exact pricing before completing a purchase. Once an order is placed, customers will receive a QR code, which can be presented at the retail outlet for collection. A senior Tasmac official stated that the app will help consumers avoid long queues at outlets. “Once an order is placed, the customer will receive a QR code, which can be shown at the retail outlet to collect the liquor. Since the price will be displayed in the app and payment made online, there will be no need to pay any amount above the MRP,” the official said. The launch comes days after Tasmac tightened disciplinary action against staff found guilty of overcharging. A July 24 circular from managing director K Nandakumar warned employees of possible suspension, transfer, or dismissal for repeated violations. Officials expect the app’s fixed pricing and digital payment system to reduce complaints of overcharging. In preparation for the launch, Nandakumar held a review meeting with district, regional, and general managers.#tamil_nadu #unified_payments_interface #tasmac #k_nandakumar #tasmac_online_shopping
