Payment of ‘pending’ dues: DoT likely to send notices again to telcos, non-telcos

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) plans to start sending payment notices again to all telecom and non-telecom companies which owe it adjusted gross revenue (AGR) based on the Supreme Court’s judgment and all other license fee dues, two people familiar with the matter said.

It was in this regard that the DoT had last week sent a notice to Power Grid to pay Rs 13,613.66 crore as national long distance license fee, the interest on the unpaid dues, the penalty, and the interest on penalty for non-payment for financial years 2006-07 to 2009-10, a DoT official said.
