|March 22, 2025
In a significant legislative move, the West Bengal Assembly has passed the West Bengal Finance Bill 2025, which includes key amendments to the Bengal Excise Act, 1909, most notably lifting the prohibition on women working in bars, a provision previously deemed discriminatory.

The bill, tabled by Minister of State Chandrima Bhattacharya, was passed in the Assembly on Wednesday. The amendments aim to modernize the Bengal Excise Act, aligning it with current legal frameworks and addressing regulatory concerns in the state's excise sector.
One of the major changes introduced is the removal of restrictions on the employment of women in ON-category liquor shops. The bill states that this amendment was necessary ""to remove the prohibition on employment of women in ON category liquor shops as such provision is discriminatory.""
