CJI agrees to contemplate itemizing plea by Vodafone-Thought to right computational errors in adjusted gross income dues

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Monday agreed to contemplate itemizing a plea by Vodafone-Thought to right alleged errors within the computation of adjusted gross income (AGR) dues.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, showing for the telecom service supplier, orally talked about the plea earlier than the Chief Justice.

A healing petition towards the dismissal of earlier pleas searching for correction of alleged errors in AGR-related dues is but to be listed earlier than a Bench, the telecom service supplier (TSP) stated.

In July 2021, the apex courtroom, in an order, had stated what TSPs actually wished, below the guise of correcting “arithmetical errors”, was a recalculation of their adjusted gross revenues (AGR) working into crores.

The courtroom had on the time stated that purposes filed by the telecom majors to “right” Math errors, which at “first blush” look “innocuous”, was a roundabout approach to recompute their AGR money owed – a path expressly forbidden by the Supreme Courtroom in an earlier order

In a September 2020 judgment, the apex courtroom had ordered the TSPs to pay annual 10 per cent instalments, commencing from April 1, 2021 as much as March 31, 2031.
