Airtel's Appeal for AGR Relief
In New Delhi, Bharti Airtel is preparing to request relief from the government regarding the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) issue, following a recent ruling by the Supreme Court. On Monday, the court indicated that the government could reconsider the pending AGR dues owed by telecom companies. This review process will not only apply to the fiscal year 2016-17 but will also encompass outstanding AGR dues from all previous years. Previously, the Supreme Court had granted the central government permission to reassess Vodafone Idea Limited's AGR dues of approximately ₹5,606 crores for the year 2016-17.
