DoT had ordered special
audit after the recommendation of telecom regulator Trai which suspected
that operators were misreporting their revenues to avoid payment of
licence fee to the government through revenue share.
The move was to check operators' scope to arbitrage which is shifting revenue from higher licence fee to the lower side.
The UASL (basic and mobile) telephony has a licence fee of 6-10 per cent where as NLD, ILD, ISP and Internet Protocol has six per cent.
Trai had noticed that some of operators were showing more revenue in segment that carried lower licence fee.
The special audit was for those companies which have multiple licences -- Unified Access Service Licence (UASL), National Long Distance (NLD), International Long Distance (ILD) and Internet Service Provider (ISP). All the five companies mentioned above have all these licences.
