Section 35(2)(ii) in The Punjab Liquor Licence Rules, 1956
(ii)Re allotment of group/zone. - If some groups/zones remain unalloted after the process of draw of lots, re-allotment of such unalloted groups/zones, shall be made by inviting fresh applications as per the same procedure. If some groups/ zones remain un-allotted even after this, the sealed quotations for those groups/ zones shall be called by reducing the fixed license fee by five percent (5%) and a proportionate reduction in the maximum guaranteed quota, after giving three days public notice. If any group/zone remains unalloted even after this, the Government reserves its right to run it on its own or through a Government agency or through its employees. There shall be no minimum guaranteed quota if the Government runs the group/zone itself or through its agencies. The Chief Minister shall be competent to allow any other procedure, different from those mentioned above for disposal of un-allotted group.
