Both the companies included in the government PSUs owed AGR Rs 2.3 lakh crore. Out of which GAIL was to pay 1.83 lakh crores and Oil India Rs 48,489 crores, but the Supreme Court had fiercely looted the telecom department during the hearing in the AGR case. Under which the court said that its decision has been misinterpreted by the department. Its decision was for private companies. PSU companies were not named by the government. After this decision, shares of oil companies have seen a big jump in the stock market.
Notice withdrawn after Supreme decision
The Supreme Court had said during the hearing in the case that seeking AGR dues from non-telecom companies is completely wrong. At the same time, he had also said earlier that the department and the government had not informed the court about these companies before. He also sent notices to Oil India and GAIL when the Supreme Court ordered AGR to be paid immediately, after which he took refuge in the Supreme Court. Now, according to the letter written by Oil Department on July 13, the matter of withdrawal of notice has been written. Now neither Tel India nor Gail India have any debt from the Telecom Department.
