Govt to take legal view on Supreme Court’s Vodafone Idea order

The Centre will take a legal view on the Supreme Court’s order on Vodafone Idea’s additional gross revenue (AGR) dues before giving any relief to the beleaguered telco, a senior government official said.

The apex court’s written order on Wednesday, while clarifying that the dues apply solely to Vodafone Idea, observed that the petition filed by the company restricts its claim only to the AGR demand raised by the department of telecommunications (DoT) for the period up to 2016-17.
