A study of the balance sheets of private telecom operators, namely Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea, show that they did not declare the disputed amounts under the levy of annual gross revenues (AGR) as 'provisions in their books. The Supreme Court recently ruled that telcos have to pay approximately Rs 92,000 crore to Department of Telecommunications (DoT) as revenue share on AGR computation. According to telecom regulator Trai sources, 15 per cent AGR was fixed as licence fee under "revenue sharing" which was reduced to 13 per cent, and lastly to 8 per cent in 2013. It appears that the revenue sharing package turned out to be very beneficial to the telecom service providers, which is evident from the continuing rise in gross revenues, sources said. In 2004, telecom service providers (TSP) earned gross revenues of Rs 4,855 crore which, by 2015, has undergone a quantum jump to Rs 2.37 lakh crore. Analysts have also looked at the Accounting Standard 37 in view of reported assertions … [Read more...] about Airtel, Vodafone-Idea made no provisions for AGR disputed amount
