Case of Union of India vs Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India, SC Judgement Dated 19th May 2025. The apex court rejected pleas by telecom majors Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Tata Teleservices for relief in the payments of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liabilities. The telcos had wanted relief in the payment of their interest on the dues, penalty and interest on the penalty. The July 2020 order had made it clear that “no dispute could be raised in respect of AGR dues that had been arrived at, on the basis of calculations made by the Union of India”. In September 2020, the apex court had ordered that the annual 10% instalments of the TSPs towards their AGR dues would commence from April 2021 up to March 2031.
