Vodafone Idea challenges DoT’s Rs 9,449 crore claim in Supreme Court

Vodafone Idea has knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court once again, filing a fresh petition against the department of telecommunications (DoT) for raising an additional demand of Rs 9,449.08 crore towards adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues up to the period of 2016-17. The company has argued that the demand is impermissible since the apex court had already frozen the amount payable under its earlier judgment, and any reassessment now undermines the finality of that order.
