NEW DELHI: Country's apex auditor CAG has said the the Department of Telecom extended undue benefits to RCOM and Dishnet Wireless (now Aircel) at the cost of others while allotting spectrum in 2008.
"... the department failed to follow its own FCFS (First-Cum-First-Serve) policy resulting into an undue benefit to Dishnet Wireless Ltd and Reliance Communication Ltd in Punjab Service area," the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has observed.
The DoT had last week sent a detailed reply to all the issues raised by the CAG.
The CAG said the then existing operators like Hutch (now Vodafone Essar), Bharti and Spice, who had applied for allotment of additional spectrum prior to these two companies, were not allotted the same.
"On 25.8.06, DoT denied their request for additional spectrum on the ground of non-availability of spectrum and further stated that their requests have been noted for necessary action when the additional GSM spectrum is available.
