SC to hear Vodafone Idea’s AGR dues waiver plea on October 13

The Supreme Court on Monday said it will hear Vodafone Idea’s plea seeking a waiver of interest, penalties, and interest on penalties for adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues demanded by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on October 13.

Vi, in its application, has sought to amend its previous petition that sought quashing of the DoT’s additional AGR demand of Rs 9,450 crore till FY19. The amended application is now seeking exemption from the payment of interest, penalty and interest on penalty on the principal amounts of AGR dues.
