• One (1) Bar shall be granted for every 30,000 population in all the Municipal Corporations (other than GHMC) / Municipalities / Nagar Panchayats i.e., for population of 0–30000 the eligibility would be one (1) bar, for 30001 – 60000 population, eligibility would be two (2) bars and so on
• In GHMC for every 13,000 population (1) one bar shall be granted i.e., for population of 0-13,000, the eligibility would be one bar, for 13,001 – 26,000 population, the eligibility would be (2) bars and so on.
• New Bar licences shall be continued to be granted to the restaurants run by 3 Star and above category hotels located in GHMC / Municipal Corporations / Municipalities / Tourism Centers / Nagara Panchayats without any restrictions as at (2) & (3) above.
• In case the number of applications filed for grant of bar licence is more than the permissible number of bars that can be newly
  opened, the selection shall be made on the basis of drawl of lots
  among all eligible applicants and in their presence duly stipulating a date time.
• Government is vested with special powers for relaxation of the
  above requirements. If warranted on expedient operational grounds etc., as may be recommended by the Commissioner of Prohibition & Excise, Telangana, Hyderabad, in special cases.
