a. Income from Income from dividend is return on investment made by the company.
Dividend Such investment is made out of surplus funds available with the
company. Companies Act, 2013 and Accounting Standard·9
classified dividend income as 'other income' i.e., distinct from the
core operations of the entity.
Therefore, income from dividend shall not be part of ApGR for the
purpose of computation ofLF.
!-------l-------~--1--=--__;_----~-------------------~
b. Income from Income from interest is return on investment made by the company in
Interest bank deposits, corporate deposits, debentures etc. Such investment is
made out of surplus funds available with the company. Also
sometimes, Licensee .receives interest from Tax Authorities on
advance tax or refundable tax. Companies Act, 2013 and Accounting
Standard-9 classified interest income as 'other income' i.e., distinct
from the core operations of the entity.
At the same time. Licensee accepts refundable ·deposits from
customers, telecom vendors and other Licensees. These deposits
essentially are part of telecom operations. The interest income earned
on such amounts should be recorded and certified by statutory
auditors.
Therefore, income from interest shall not be part of ApGR for the
purpose of computation of LF. However, interest earned on
refundable deposits from customers, telecom vendors and other
Licensees shall be considered in ApGR for the purpose of
computation of LF. Also, any refundable deposit received by the
Licensee on the strength of telecom service viz. linkage with tariff,
advance rental etc. shall also have similar treatment for inclusion in
i ApGR.

h. ' Excess Provisions Excess Provisions written back represent the reversal of excess
wriltcn back provision made for any liability or expc::nses in any previous year. On
settlement, this excess provision is written back into books of
accounts as other income. This basically represents an adjustment 60
instead ofactual revenue earned.
Therefore, income on account of excess provisions written back shall
not be part of ApGR for the purpose ofcomputation of LF.

require a notional entry for exchange differences in respect of
liabilities at the closing date of the AFSs. The foreign exchange gains
reflected in the profit and loss statement of Licensee could arise from
reduction of payment liability or increase in the value of foreign
exchange accounts receivables. In other words, foreign exchange
fluctuation is a contingency which has impact on every business
which may have something to do with foreign exchange and is not
specific and unique to telecom business.
Therefore, revenue/profit arising out of upward valuation or
devaluation on account of fluctuation of foreign exchange shall not
be part of ApGR for the purpose ofcomputation of LP.
e. Income from Licensee may rent or lease part of their properties and earn revenue
property rent in the form of rent. Some Licensees as part of staff welfare measure
provides staff quarters to their employees and receive rent from such
staff. Revenue from rent cannot be distinctly treated as only from
telecom business. Therefore, revenue/income from property rent shall
not be part of ApGR for the purpose of computation of LF. In case
property is let out for 'establishing, maintaining and working of
telecommunication', then revenue/income from such rent shall be
considered in ApGR for the purpose of computation of LF.
f. Insurance claims A receipt from Insurance company against loss of property/ fixed
assets is basically a reimbursement in nature for the loss occurred by
the Licensee. Receipt of insurance claim from insurance company
shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose of computation of LP.
g. Bad Debts Bad debt is an amount owed by a debtor that is unlikely to be
recovered received/ realized and recognized as an expense in the books of
accounts. Bad Debts recovered represents reversal of debits (i.e. bad
debts) appearing in the profit and loss account of previous year(s).
This basically represents an adjustment to the amount of an expense
(i.e. bad debts) as estimated in an earlier year(s) in which it had
already recorded as part of revenue from operations.
Therefore, income on accowit of bad debts recovered shall not be
part of ApGR for the purpose ofcomputation of LF.
h. Excess Provisions Excess Provisions written back represent the reversal of excess
written back provision made for any liability or expenses in any previous year. On
settlement, this excess provision is written back into books of

instead of actual revenue earned.
Therefore, income on account of excess provisions written back shall

Dividend Such investment is made out of surplus funds available ·with the

Therefore, income from dividend shall not be part of ApGR for the
purpose ofcomputation of 1.P.

interest bank deposits, corporate deposits, debentures etc. Such investment is
made out of surplus funds available with the company. Also

Standard-9 classified interest income as 'other income' i.e., distinct
from the core operations oft.he t:ntily.
At the same time, Licensee accepts refundable deposits from
customers, telecom vendors and other Licensees. These deposits
essentially are part oftclccom operations. T he interest income earned
on such amounts should be recorded and certified by statutory auditors.
Therefore, income from interest shall not be pan of ApGR for the
purpose ofcomputation ofLF. However, interest earned on refundable
deposits from customers, telecom vendors aml other Licensees shall be
considered in ApGR for the purpose of computation of LF. Alim, any
refundable deposit received by the Licensee on the strength oftelecom

liabilities at the closing date of the AFSs. The foreign exchange gnins
reflected in the profit and loss statement of Licensee could arise from
reduction of payment liahility or increase in the value of foreign
exchange accounts receivables. 1n other words, foreign exchange
fluctuation is a contingency which has impact on every business which
may have something to do with foreign exchange and is not specific

1--~+-~~~~~~1--_..;;.~~

b. Income fro m Income from interest is return on investment made by the company in
Interest bank deposits. corporate deposits, debentures etc. Such investment is
made out of surplus funds available with the company. Also sometimes,
Licensee receives interest from Tax Authorities on advance tax or
refundable tax. Companies Act, 2013 and Accounting Standard-9
classified interest income as 'other income' i.e .. distinct from the core
operations uf the entity.
At the same time, Licensee accepts refundable deposits from customers,
telecom vendors and other Licensees. These deposits essentially are part
of telecom operations. The interest income earned on such amounts
should be recorded and certified by statutory auditors.
Therefore. income from interest shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose
of computation of LF. However, interest earned on refundable deposits
from cuswmcrs. telecom vendors and other Licensees shall be considered
in ApGR !Or the purpose of computation of LF. Also. any refundable
deposit received by the Licensee on the strength of telecom service viz.
linkage with tariff: advance rental etc. shall also have similar treatment for
inclusion in ApGR.
c. Capital gains on Capital guin earned by the Licensee on the account of profit on sale of

profit on sale of tclecom operations. Therefore, the revenue on account of sale of

ofLF.
