Section 76 in The Rajasthan Distilleries Rules, 1977
76. Coloured rum warehouse.
- Spirit to which it is desired to add caramel at the time of storing, instead of at the time of issue, must be stored in a separate "Coloured Rum" warehouse.After the gauging and proving of the plain spirit, the caramel will be added in such quantities as the distiller may desire.The volume of the caramel added will be noted by the officer-in-charge in Form R.D. 14 and on the following day, the contents of the vat will again be gauged and proved. The apparent loss in proof litres due to obscuration will be shown as an "Issue" in columns 8 and 16 of the Form 14; duty will be assessed on this apparent loss and will be debited against the distiller's advance in Form R.D. 23. The fact that this has been done will be noted in the column of remarks in Form R.D. 14. The item must also be shown in register R.D. 11 although no pass is actually issued.When spirit has been coloured and duty charged in the above manner no further addition of spirit can be made to the vat previous to its being emptied.All spirit finally issued from the coloured rum ware house will pay duty on the apparent strength at the time of issue.
