Is the TASMAC price the same in every shop in Tamil Nadu?
Yes — by law. TASMAC prices are fixed statewide. A Quarter of the same brand costs the same in Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai or a village shop. The only legitimate addition is the ₹10 bottle deposit, which you get back when you return the bottle. If a counter quotes more than MRP + deposit, that's an overcharge.
How do I check today's TASMAC price for a brand?
Open Sarakku and type the brand — typos are fine, "old monk quar" works. The full 1,498-product MRP list is stored on your phone, so the legal price answers even with zero signal. You also see the per-litre math and the exact counter total with deposit.
What time do TASMAC shops open and close?
Standard hours are 12 noon to 10 pm. Sarakku shows each shop's open/closed state right on the map, so you don't walk to a shutter.
Does Sarakku cover my district, or just Chennai?
All 38 districts of Tamil Nadu — 4,800+ shops from Kanyakumari to Krishnagiri. Stock is counted through the day; the nightly Pulse leaderboard starts with Chennai, with Coimbatore, Madurai and Salem next.
How fresh is the stock data?
Shops are counted several times a day, busiest areas most often, and the app can fetch a live count for a shop the moment you open it. Every count shows its freshness — we tell you when a number is hours old instead of pretending.
How do I find a TASMAC shop near me with stock right now?
Open the map — Sarakku shows 4,800+ shops as pins around you with walk-time, open/closed state and honest stock depth: plenty, low, or last few. Counts refresh several times a day, and the app can pull a live count for a shop the moment you open it, so you don't walk to an empty counter.
Can I see which TASMAC shops have a particular brand in stock — say Old Monk in Coimbatore?
Yes. Search the brand and size, and Sarakku shows the shops near you carrying it, with stock depth and walk-time. Save it as a usual and one alert lands when it is back nearby. Coverage is all 38 districts, so this works in Coimbatore exactly as it does in Chennai.
How do I check if a TASMAC shop is overcharging me?
Compare the counter total against the fixed MRP plus the ₹10 refundable bottle deposit — anything above that is an overcharge. Sarakku shows the exact legal total before you reach the queue, offline if you have no signal, and lets you mark an overcharge in about five seconds.
What is the best way to check TASMAC stock in Chennai?
Chennai alone has 374 TASMAC shops on Sarakku's map. The nearest ones appear with walk-time, open/closed state and stock depth; search a brand to see which of them actually has it. Stock is counted through the day, and the nightly Pulse leaderboard covers Chennai first.
Does Sarakku sell or deliver alcohol?
No. Sarakku is information only — prices, stock and locations. It sells nothing, delivers nothing, and is strictly 21+, Tamil Nadu's legal drinking age.
