“Audit scrutiny of Audited AGR Statements concerning Profit & Loss Statements and Balance Sheets in respect of NLD, ILD and ISP-IT licenses of TCL for the period from 2006- 07 to 2017-18 revealed that there was an under-reporting of Gross Revenue (GR) by Rs 13,252.81 crore and consequent short levy of LF (licence fee) of Rs 950.25 crore,” it said.

According to the CAG report, the telecom department only levied Rs 305.25 crore as an LF. The estimated revenue for the delay in allocation of the E and V band spectrum is “only an indicative figure, and the expected actual revenue could be higher”.
