In Brief

In a consolidated matter involving telecom operators and the Department of Telecommunications regarding Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) demands, the Court considered affidavits from the Department and private operators Vodafone and Idea. The Department agreed to withdraw demands constituting 96% of the total AGR claim from public sector undertakings. Pending final decision on the remaining 4%, the Court directed telecom operators to file audited balance sheets for ten years, income tax returns, and AGR deposit particulars, and to make reasonable payments demonstrating bonafides. The matter was adjourned to the third week of July 2020.
