Receiver room or warehouse of spirit storage vats should be properly secured by Excise ticked locks. Tickets shall be provided only at the end of the day‟s transactions. Cost of such locks as are attached to any of the fittings of a distillery shall be borne by the licensee.
The keys of all locks shall be retained by the Distillery Officer but the licensee shall be at liberty to attach his own locks also to all the fastenings to which such excise locks are attached.
Should a lock while on a fastening or hasp, refuse to be unlocked, it shall be removed by filing through the fastening or hasp. Such defective locks, should be withdrawn and sent for repairs to the Government Workshop.
