DOT MAY ASK CAG TO DROP OBJECTIONS OVER ENTRY-FEE ADJUSTMENTS

March 21, 2014

 

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may ask the CAG to drop objections raised against four telecom operators, whose entry fee was adjusted against the money they had to pay for spectrum won in the November 2012 and March 2013 auctions.

 

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) had questioned DoT's decision to adjust the entry fee paid by these operators in 2008 against the auction amount in 2012, saying it went against the Supreme Court's ruling.

 

DoT had allowed a set-off of Rs. 16585.700 Millions for Uninor, Rs. 15068.200 Millions for Videocon Telecommunications, Rs. 16263.200 Millions for Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL) and Rs. 6845.900 Millions for Idea Cellular to be adjusted with the price of spectrum these companies bought in the November 2012 and March 2013 auctions.

 

According to sources, the DoT had in October 2013 written to CAG that the set-off was allowed on the principle of equal restitution, as recommended by the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM).

 

Before the November 2012 auction, the EGoM on spectrum headed by Finance Minister P Chidambaram had decided to adjust fees of only those companies that win spectrum in the auction.

 

In the November 2012 auction, Uninor and Videocon won spectrum in six circles each and Idea Cellular in seven circles. SSTL won airwaves in eight circles in March 2013.

 

The DoT had said the "set-off is not in the nature of refund as it was allowed only in case of participation and winning of spectrum in the auction."

 

It had also communicated to the CAG that these decisions involve issues of policy and legality and issues of policy cannot be dealt with by audit and issues of legality can only be dealt with by the courts, the source added.

 

The licences of these companies were cancelled by the Supreme Court in 2012, after which they wrote to the government seeking a refund of the entry fee paid by them or its adjustment against the bid amount if they participated in the auctions in 2012 and 2013.

 

"It may be mentioned that the actions of the government in allowing the set-off were very much in conformity with the directions of Supreme Court as it had allowed the quashed licences to continue to operate and participate in the auctions," the DoT is believed to have written to the CAG.

 

According to sources, the DoT communicated to the CAG that the issue may be examined in entirety and the objections raised may be dropped.

 

 

VIDEOCON TO ROLL OUT 4G SERVICES IN SIX CIRCLES BY YEAR-END

March 14, 2013 

 

Ahmedabad:

Videocon Telecommunication will roll out long term evolution (LTE) technology for offering 4G services in six circles including Gujarat and Bihar by the end of this year, the company said on Thursday.

 

"LTE technology offering better speed and connectivity to consumers will in first phase shall be rolled out in six circles of Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, UP-East, UP-West and Bihar by this year end," said Arvind Bali to reporters. He is Videocon's director and chief executive officer.

 

"The technology offering high-speed data services has the potential to overcome the handicaps posed by the 3G services. LTE can offer 20-50 times higher speed over 3G to consumers," he claimed.

 

"We got a new spectrum licence on January 18 which enables us to use it for any technology over the next 20 years, and now we shall be taking many leaps during this span," Mr. Bali said.

 

"We have got pan-India 22 licences for national long distance service and our maximum budgeting shall be for it," Mr. Bali added.

 

For the troubled telcom industry, Mr. Bali said voice calls will be the big driver going forward. While the growth would be high in data download services.

 

 

 

2G CASE: SUPREME COURT DISMISSES CURATIVE PETITIONS OF TELCOS, A. RAJA

 

February 14, 2013

 

New Delhi:

The Supreme Court today dismissed the curative petitions of several telecom firms requesting re-examination of its verdict cancelling 122 2G spectrum licences allocated during tenure of former telecom minister A. Raja

 

The apex court also denied permission to Mr. Raja to file his curative petition.

 

The companies whose petitions were rejected are Videocon Telecommunications Limited, Sistema Shyam Teleservices Limited (SSTL), Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) and Idea Cellular Limited.

 

A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and justices P. Sathasivam and G.S. Singhvi rejected the plea of the telecom firms and Raja saying "no case is made out".

 

"We have gone through the curative petitions and the relevant documents. In our opinion, no case is made out within the parameters indicated in the decision of this court...hence, the curative petitions are dismissed."

 

"As far as the curative petition of Raja is concerned, permission to file curative petitions is rejected," it said adding, "Consequently, applications for stay and appropriate directions are rejected."

 

A curative petition is filed after the dismissal of review petition and is decided in the chambers of judges.

 

Earlier on April 3, 2012, the apex court had dismissed the review petitions of Videocon Telecommunications Limited, S Tel Limited, SSTL, TTSL, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Private Limited, Etisalat DB Telecom Private Limited and Idea Cellular Limited.

 

A bench of justices G.S. Singhvi and A.K. Ganguly (since retired), on February 2, 2012, had cancelled the 122 2G licences holding as unconstitutional the policy of first-come-first-served.

 

Reacting to the dismissal of the curative petition, SSTL in a statement said: It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court has not admitted the curative petition of SSTL. The company believes that it has been unfairly penalized in the February 2, 2012 order by the Supreme Court. While SSTL remains committed to its operations, however, it would be up to the shareholders to decide the go forward strategy of the company."
