After Airtel and Voda, Tata Tele moves SC seeking AGR dues recalculation

Tata Teleservices on Monday filed a petition with the Supreme Court stating that there were “mathematical errors” in the calculations of the Department of Telecommunications as far as the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues were concerned.

This development comes close on the heels of Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea petitioning the apex court over the same issues.

Tata Teleservices has AGR dues of Rs 16,798 crore and has paid Rs 4,197 crore so far.

Vodafone Idea estimates its dues to be at Rs 21,533 crore, as against DoT’s calculation of Rs 58,254 crore.

According to DoT’s notice, VIL’s dues stand at about Rs 50,400 crore, which has to be paid in 10 equal instalments through March 31, 2031. The company has so far paid Rs 7,854 crore.
