Big relief package approved for telecom sector
The central government has also approved a relief package for the telecom sector. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that the government has decided to make 9 major structural changes in the telecom sector. By changing the definition of AGR, non-telecom revenue will be excluded from it. The interest in AGR has been reduced to 2% per annum. Apart from this, the penalty imposed on it has also been abolished. This will give a big relief to the telecom companies.
Change in KYC rules
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that 100% FDI has been approved in the telecom sector under the automatic route. The KYC process will now be completed online. Now only self KYC will have to be done while taking a new SIM. Now no form will have to be filled in changing from postpaid to prepaid or prepaid to postpaid. Digital KYC will be valid for this. The documents given at the time of taking the SIM, which is in the warehouse, will also be digitized.
The 4-year moratorium for all dues
Vaishnav said that the telecom sector will be given a moratorium of 4 years for all the dues. That is, they can defer their dues for 4 years, but they will have to pay interest on the outstanding during this period. This arrangement will not be applicable on the last date but from now on. Apart from this, the spectrum will now be auctioned for 30 years instead of 20 years.
