New Delhi: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has asked the telecom regulator to clarify and share additional information on certain points in the service authorisation framework recommendations, including on the adjusted gross revenue (AGR), as the government looks to make the new regime more lucrative for the telecom operators so that they voluntarily adopt it."We have sent the reference back to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to seek clarity on certain points in the authorisation framework. Once the regulator replies, we will work on finalising the framework for authorisation," an official privy to the details told ET on condition of anonymity.While Trai believes the new authorisation regime as recommended by it is much better than the existing licensing system, it will further provide its inputs to the DoT, a second official said.117959241The telcos had raised concerns over ending the contract system in the new regime, fearing it would lead to uncertainty. The DoT, however, is trying to allay the fears and make the new regime more friendly for all stakeholders.As of now, the DoT is not looking to force the authorisation regime on telcos through a mandate, but it wants that all the stakeholders should voluntarily migrate to the new system in a time-bound manner.The DoT believes that the existence of two systems-authorisation and licensing-will create confusion, leaving room for potential litigation.Officials said the DoT also knows that forcing the telcos through a mandate to adopt the new regime might lead to legal challenges as the tenure of licences can't be cut short. "The licence is a legal document, and telcos can challenge the DoT in case of cancellation or mandatory migration to the new regime," the first official said.
