The Hindu Business Line : Reliance Info pays up access deficit charges to BSNL

RELIANCE Infocomm has paid Rs 84.7 crore to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd as access deficit charge that it allegedly evaded by routing incoming international calls as local ones.

The Supreme Court had on January 3 directed the private telecom operator to pay the balance amount within a week failing which BSNL would be free to disconnect the services.

Reliance deposited the amount on January 7, thereby clearing the dues of Rs 182.7 crore it owed to BSNL till October 2004. The company had earlier approached the court, seeking permission to deposit the amount in the form of a bank guarantee.
