Along with PESO licesne, u need to get permission from state excise and prohibition dept for storage and handling of ethanol. Kindly refer your state excise and prohibition act.
NOTE: Ethanol is an alcoholic substance, it is consumed in the place of wine by illiterate people after getting ethanol odour while handling.
Due to Intoxication substance, government regulated ethanol in handling & storage.

If the total ethanol content is less than 99.5%, then no need of PESO License.

Hi Members.

This matter is old, but i have a smilar problem
The FAQ page shown above seem to have been deleted.

There is a notification of Aug 2019 which states that Ethanol is a Class A item under petrolieum rules and therefore needs license for transport. My assumption is that if there is a need for license to transport, then there will automatically be license to store.

Hi Friends, Could you please confirm, Ethyl acetate comes under which class in Petro chemicals.
From India, Delhi
A clear colorless liquid with a fruity odor. Flash point 24°F. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air.

Since Flashpoint is 24 deg F (which is below zero deg centigrade)
Therefore, it will always be Class A

From India, Mumbai
The Ethanol Required PESO license to storage, manufacturing, and transportation under form 11, the <99.5% ethanol FAQ has been removed from the PESO website earlier it was mentioned not required if <99.5%, not there is no percentage, any Ethanol percentage needs to get a license under PESO class A.
