DoT recommends current slab rate system of revenue sharing for SUC

03 Aug 2012 Evaluate

The Department of Telecom (DoT) in its proposal to the Union Cabinet, has proposed to retain the existing 'slab rate' system of revenue sharing for spectrum usage charge (SUC). The acceptance of the proposal will help new entrants as they will have to pay a lower levy.

The Empowered Group of Minister (EGoM) had recommended both the existing slab rate system of revenue sharing as the preferred option and 5% flat rate as an alternate. But the ministry has proposed the existing system of revenue sharing.

The Cabinet is likely to meet to discuss the reserve price and usage charges of spectrum that is to be auctioned as per the Supreme Court order. The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), headed by P Chidambaram has suggested to fix the reserve price either at Rs 14,000 crore or Rs 15,000 crore for 5 Mhz of GSM spectrum in the 1800 Mhz band, respectively.
