New
Delhi: The telecom department will
verify
'
claims of lesser
AGR dues by initiating random '
test
checks'
before
March 17, sources said.
The '
test check' will happen for all
telcom firms but will start with those claiming they have already made full and final
settlement towards their statutory liabilities.
The exercise will help the department assess the gap between
telcos' claim of what their adjusted gross revenue (
AGR) dues are and its own estimates.
