Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has prepared a draft cabinet note seeking to waive the requirement of providing bank guarantees (BGs) for securitisation of deferred spectrum instalments, subject to some conditions, officials said. The move follows a request by Vodafone Idea (Vi) for such a waiver, they said. “The BG waiver for next instalment, however, can only be considered if the telco agrees to pay an additional three months’ amount along with the annual payment,” said one of the officials, who did not wish to be identified. If the draft gets cabinet nod, there won’t be any requirement for BGs.

Therefore, while Vi has been calling for waiver of the BG requirement, the DoT proposal, if cleared by the cabinet, may see a higher annual outgo for the telco, which has been desperately trying to emerge from a cash crisis, said experts.
