Bharti Airtel joins Vodafone Idea’s chorus, won’t pay AGR dues today

NEW DELHI : After Vodafone Idea said it will await the Supreme Court order before paying its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to the government, Bharti Airtel has decided to follow suit, a person aware of the matter told Mint.

The deadline to pay dues to department of telecommunications (DoT) is 23 January, Thursday.

Vodafone Idea, the worst hit by the top court’s order on telecom dues, said it will await the hearing of its modification plea that it had filed earlier this week seeking easier payment terms before clearing its AGR dues, Mint had reported earlier on Thursday.
