Telecom companies have to wait for relief in the context of AGR
New delhi date. February 29 - Saturday
The Rs 3.5 trillion license fee and spectrum charges associated with Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) are making it difficult for the government to decide on an inadequate data relief package in the country's telecom sector.
The matter is becoming more complicated for the government due to inconsistencies in the AGR data
The meeting of the Digital Communications Commission (DCC) on Friday could not take any decision on the issue of data. The meeting was expected to announce relief measures for the telecom sector. Due to inconsistencies in the data, it is difficult for the commission to calculate the AGR, sources in the department of telecommunications said.
The Commission had decided not to say anything about what kind of discussion was taking place in its meeting. More information is needed to compare AGR data. The commission's next meeting is expected to be shortly.
Vodafone - Idea has demanded an extension of the payment period, saying it could not pay the AGR amount as per the apex court order. According to one estimate, Vodafone-Idea is expected to pay Rs.
In a letter to the Department of Telecommunication, the company has also demanded a refund of Rs 5 crore from the GST payment, sources said.
In addition, the Cellular Operators' Association has written a letter to the government demanding relief measures.
