Overview

What This Service Covers

Alcohol businesses can face excise, activity-licence and local-premises requirements. Company Darta supports the agreed activity route, premises documents and licensing coordination for the relevant alcohol business.

What Our Service Includes

  • Activity-route assessment, premises documents and licensing coordination within the agreed engagement.
  • A review of the actual product, volume, operating model and location to distinguish production, import, distribution, retail and on-trade routes.
  • Coordination of the agreed excise, activity-licence and linked registration sequence; the relevant authority retains every licensing decision.

Who It Is For

  • Businesses producing, importing, distributing or selling alcohol, including bars, restaurants, hotels, retailers, breweries and distilleries.
  • Promoters who need to confirm whether their proposed alcohol activity depends on excise, premises, local, industry, environmental, import or tourism steps.

What Is Not Assumed

  • Excise registration alone does not establish an alcohol trading or activity licence.
  • Production, import, distribution, retail and on-trade sale can follow different routes.
  • The current liquor authority, categories, fees, premises rules and renewal conditions must be confirmed for the location and activity.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR ALCOHOL BUSINESS LICENSING

  • Intended audience: Alcohol business operators.
  • Primary authority or route: IRD and local route.
  • Core route definition: Alcohol businesses can face excise, activity-licence and local-premises requirements. Company Darta supports the agreed activity route, premises documents and licensing coordination for the relevant alcohol business.
  • Main dependency: Premises suitability, local conditions, linked registrations, inspection and the applicable authority process.
Why It Matters

Doing It Yourself vs. Working With Us

Without Professional Help

  • You identify the activity-specific authorities, assess premises, manage excise and linked registrations, and prepare the relevant licence route yourself.
  • You distinguish production, import, distribution, retail and on-trade sale before treating an excise registration as sufficient.
  • You establish current locality-specific premises, category, fee, stock-record and renewal conditions directly with the relevant authorities.

With Company Darta Nepal

  • You receive agreed activity, premises-document and coordination support. The relevant authority decides all excise and activity-licensing outcomes.
  • You receive an agreed dependency checklist that separates the selected alcohol activity route from linked excise, industry, environmental, EXIM or tourism work.
  • You receive coordination updates for the agreed process while providing current entity, product, premises and activity information.

Alcohol business licensing process

Start with the actual alcohol activity and premises, as these determine the applicable route.

1

Define the activity Before filing

Confirm whether the business will produce, import, distribute, retail or serve alcohol on premises.

2

Map the current route Before premises commitment

Identify the excise, activity-licence and local-premises requirements for the planned activity and location.

3

Assess premises readiness Location-dependent

Check the current location, occupancy, layout, storage and local conditions before committing to the premises.

4

Address linked registrations Route-dependent

Coordinate excise and, where applicable, industry, environmental, import or tourism routes.

5

Prepare authority documents Documents-dependent

Organise the current entity, product, premises and activity information for the identified route.

6

Track current obligations Recurring

Confirm the applicable licence, stock-record, excise and renewal obligations after the authority decision.
