DoT may send AGR notice to TTSL before SC hearing

Mumbai: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is likely to issue a notice to Tata Teleservices (TTSL) before March 17 demanding payment of balance adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues, said officials aware of the matter. The company has not submitted enough details regarding its self-assessment of dues and these will need to be provided, they said.

The Supreme Court is set to hear modification pleas, filed by telcos such as Tata Teleservices, Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel on the AGR ruling, on March 17. But DoT is unlikely to be able to reconcile differences between its estimates of AGR dues and that of Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel by that date.
