The Department of Telecom will issue this week the next lot of demand notices to six telecom operators for under-reporting of revenues in around\ 10 circles in 2006-07 year. According to DoT sources, demand notice is likely to go to Bharti
Hexacom for North East and Rajasthan circles, and to all other operators as well for the year 2006-07 for specific circles. The source, however, declined to quantify the exact amount it will entail.
Acting on the CAG report, which said six telcos under- reported Rs 46,045.75 crore of revenue between 2006-10 to cause a loss of Rs 12,488.93 crore to the exchequer, DoT started issuing year-wise notices to operators for specific circles to recover the dues.
last week, the department issued over `100-crore demand notices to six telecom operators - RCom, Tata Teleservices, Vodafone, Bharti Airtel, Idea and Aircel - to recover the first tranche of the dues for the year 2008-09.
