DoT seeks legal view on AGR impact for non-telecom players

NEW DELHI: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is seeking legal opinion on the wider impact of the Supreme Court’s order on adjusted gross revenue (AGR), including whether it is applicable on a larger group of non-telecom companies holding telecom licences, and if so, the process to be adopted to raise demands from them for its dues.

“We are taking a legal opinion on the order’s wider ambit… we will actively work on the matter as legally advised after the telcos’ issue is addressed,” an official said.
