On July 14, 20,000 bars in Maharashtra, India, closed to protest a tax hike, risking industry collapse.
In Maharashtra, India, 20,000 bars and permit rooms closed on July 14 to protest a significant tax hike on the hospitality sector.
The Hotel and Restaurant Association (AHAR) claims the increases, including a 60% rise in excise duty and a 15% hike in license fees, are pushing the industry toward collapse.
AHAR warns that the tax hikes, coupled with ongoing pandemic recovery challenges, could lead to mass closures, unemployment, and increased liquor smuggling.
The strike aims to pressure the state government to revise the taxation policy.
