VODAFONE IDEA FILES PLEA IN SC SEEKING CORRECTION OF AGR DUES

Vodafone Idea has recently filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court in relation to judgment that had dismissed pleas by telecom companies seeking correction of errors in Adjusted Gross Revenue dues payable by them.

- 

Senior advocate Harish Salve mentioned before a bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra that a curative petition has been filed.

Salve told the bench, “This court has said there are arithmetical errors and this is a curative plea.”

In September 2020, the Supreme Court granted telecom companies a period of 10 years to clear their pending AGR dues to the Central government, with a 10% payment to be made every year.

The deadline given to the telcos for the 1st instalment was March 31, 2021.
