VIL makes full payment to DoT

NEW DELHI: Vodafone Idea — which had been issued a showcause notice by DoT over non-payment of licence fee in seven circles — has now made full payment with interest, a source said.

After receiving Department of Telecom’s showcause notice dated April 7, Vodafone Idea (VIL) had recently said any payment not made on March 25, would be paid on April 15 with interest.

Sources aware of the company’s position on the matter said full payments with interest have now been made to Department of Telecom.

An e-mail sent to Vodafone Idea on the issue remained unanswered.
