Reliance Jio Infocomm

The government has clarified that the revenue loss estimated in an audit observation regarding the agreement between Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited resulted from a misinterpretation of contractual provisions. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had earlier suggested that the state-owned telecom operator failed to enforce billing provisions linked to additional technology deployed on its tower infrastructure, potentially causing a revenue loss of Rs 1,757.76 crore between May 2014 and March 2024.
