Thiruvananthapuram: The hotel bar included in the Kerala Kerala Kerala Kerala continued the sale of the IMFL (India-made Liquor-made) on Friday after the government reduced the profit margin of the Kerala State for the State of the State (Bevco) to 13%.
The hotel bar owner has protested after the government last month increased the profit margin from 8% to 25%, quoting the need to increase the corporate financial position.
According to the hotel bar owner, the bar roughly made the Margin RS 150 for sales worth Rs 1,000.
