For section 35 of the Himachal Pradesh Excise Act, 2011, which circumstance by itself does not bring a person within the extended meaning of holder of a licence for a liquor vend?
The person's tender for allotment was accepted.

The person's application for allotment was accepted.
The person's tender for allotment was submitted, not accepted.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - The person's tender for allotment was submitted, not accepted.
The Explanation to section 35 includes a person whose tender, bid or application for allotment of a liquor-vend licence has been accepted. For that inclusion, the person need not have received the licence itself. A tender that has merely been submitted, without acceptance, does not satisfy the extended definition.
