RCom and its subsidiaries replenishes bank guarantees of Rs. 774 cr to DoT
TT Correspondent |  |  13 Aug 2018

Reliance Communications (RCom) and its subsidiaries have replenished bank guarantees (BGs) aggregating Rs. 774 crore with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), thereby ensuring that the department does not cancel its licenses and spectrum.

The payment to DoT was done four weeks ahead of telecom tribunal's deadline of September 10. The Rcom stock was up 2.3% at Rs19.94 on the BSE at midday trade Monday.

"RCOM and its subsidiary, Reliance Telecom Limited, have today reinstated bank guarantees aggregating Rs. 774 crore with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), four weeks ahead of the last date of 10th Sep 2018 as granted by the Hon’ble Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT)," said the telco in a regulatory filing on Monday.

"The reinstatement of the BGs ensures that RCom’s license and spectrum value of Rs. 11,300 crore stands fully protected, and RCom is fully compliant with the guidelines of NIA 2013 and NIA 2015," the telco added.

The debt laden operator also informed on Monday that its asset monetisation had started and the first trance had been received last week.

It will sell an additional around 65 MHz spectrum in the 800 MHz band to Jio for around Rs3,500-Rs3,700 crore which will help in bringing down the telco's debt further.
