In addition to hotel if you run a bar also with it you have to take state excise licence and pay litre fee as per the state excise rules.Proper liquor stock register and daily consumption register is to be maintained.Regular returns are to be filed to the state excise dept. Refer to Excise dept for details. Recently Kerala HC has issued a judgment in a case against Union Govt that no service tax is to be charged on a hotel and bar business by the Central govt. It is to be seen whether the Central govt will amend the rule or goes to SC on appeal against this judgment......mjk
