Seeking to steer clear of the ongoing $1.17 billion Tata-DoCoMo payment dispute, a top official today said the government has no role to play as it can’t “change the rule to suit the convenience of somebody” in a case that is based on agreement between two private parties
“The Government has no role in it (Tata-DoCoMo dispute). It was a bilateral agreement between two parties. We can not change the rule to suit the convenience of somebody...,” said a top Finance Ministry official.
“The agreement was the violation of the FEMA rule. Both of you decided to enter into an agreement, you can not expect government to change its rule to suit your requirements. If small guy comes, will anybody talk about them. It is for now them to sort it out,” he said.
