SJ. Item/ Head of Description and conditions applicable


No. 'Other Income'
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 ofcomputation of LF.
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 inc lusion in
ApGR.
c. Capital gains on Capital gain earned by the Licensee on the account of profit on sale
account of profit of assets and securities, are of from investing activities instead of
on sale of fixed from telecom operations. Therefore, the revenue on account of sale of
assets and immovable property, securities, warrants or debt instruments, other
securities items of fixed assets shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose of
computation ofLF.
d. Gains from Foreign Exchange differences arise when actual rates at the time- of
Foreign Exchange settlement differs from rhose at which they were initially recorded in
rates fluctuations the books. The provisions contained in the Accounting Standard-I I
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 LF.
e. Income from Licensee may rent or lease part of their properties and earn revenue
property rent in the fonn of rent. Some Licensees as part of staff welfare measure
provides staff quarters to thdr employees and receive rent rrom 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 s hall 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 A pGR for the purpose of computation of LF.
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 account of bad debts recovered shall not be
part of ApGR for the purpose of computation ofLF.
h. Excess Provisions Excess Provisio ns 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
accounts as other income. This basically represents an adjustment 60
instead ofactual revenue earned.
Therefore, income on account ofexcess provisions written back shall
not be part ofApGR for the purpose ofcompulation of LF.

a. Income from Income from dividend is return on investment made by.the company.

! company. Companies Act. 20 13 and Accounting Standard-9

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

Tn~ome 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 avajlabk ·wi th the company. Also
i sometimes, Licensee receive!> interest from Tax Authorities on
ad\'llllCe tax or refundable tai.. Companies Act, 2013 and Accounting
' tandard-9 classified interest income as ·other income' i.e., distinct
from the core operations ofthe entity.
At the same time, Licensee accepts refundable deposits from ,
customers, telo;:om vendors and other Licensees. These deposirs
essentially are part ortelccom operations. The interest income earned
on uch 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 Lhe purpose of
computation of LF. Also. any refundnbk deposit received by the
Licensee on the strength of telecom service viz. linkage with tariff,
advance rental etc. shall also have simi lar treatment for inclusion in
• ApGR .
c. Capital gains on Capital gain earned by the Licen ee on the ac1.:ount of profit on sale
account of prolit of assets and securities, are of from investing activ ities instead of :
on sale of fixed from telecom operations. Therefore, the revenue on account of sale of
i
assels and immovable property, securities, warrant.~ or debt instruments, other
!
securities items of fixed assets shall noL be part of ApGR for r.he purpose of
computation ofl.F.
d. Gains fTom Foreign Exchange differences arise X'vben actual rates at the- time of
.Foreign Exchange settlement differs from those at which they were initially recorded in
rates fluctuations the books. The provisions contained in Lhe Accounting Standard-~! I .
: require a notional entry for exchimge 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 increa e in the value of foreign


exchange accounts receivables. In other words, foreign exchange
fl uctuation is a conthigency \\hich has impact on every business
which may have something to do w ith foreign exchange and is not
specific and unique to Telecom business.
Therefore, revenue/profit arising out of upward valuation or
deval uation on account of fluctuation of foreign exchange shall not
be part ofApGR for the purpose ofcomputation ofLF.
c. Tncome from Licensee may ren t or lease part of their prope11ies and earn revenue
property rent in the fo1m of rent. Some Licensees as part of staITwelfare measure
provides stuff quarters !o their employees and receive rent from such
staff. Revenue from rent casinot be distinctly treated as only from
telecom bu ines . Therefore, revenue/income from property rent shall
not be part of /\pGR for the purpose of computation of LF. In case
; property is let. out for 'establishing, maintaining w1d working of
' telecoaimunicarion', then revenue/income from such rent shall be
considered in A pGR for the purpose ofcomputation 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


U1e Licensee. Receipt of insurance claim 1 ·rom insurance company
shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose of computation of Lr .
g. -Bad a-
DebL~ Bad debt is an amount owed by debtor that is unlikely LO be
recovered n:ceivedi realized and recogn ized 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 ycar(s).
This basically represents aJ1 adj ustment to the amount of ufl 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 account of bad debts recovered shall not he
part ofApGR for the purpose ofcomputation of LF.
h. Excess Provisions Excess Provisions writtCn-­ b~ck represent the reversal -O f excess
written back provision made for any liabil ity or expenses in any previous year. On
iI settlement, this excess provision i.s written back inlo books of
l accounts as other income. This basically represents an adjustment 60

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.

Capital gain earned by the Licensee on the account of profit on sale


of assets and securities, are of from investing activities instead of
from telecom operations. Therefore, the revenue on account of sale of
immovable property, securities, warrants or debt instruments, other
items of fixed assets shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose of
computation ofLF.
Foreign Exchange differences arise when actual rates at t11e time of
settlement differs from those at \\foch they were initially recorded in
the books. The provisions contained in the Accounting Standard· I I
require a notional entry for exchange differences in respect of
liabilities at the closing date of the AFSs. The foreign exchange gains
I reflected in the profit and loss statement of Licensee could arise from

reduction of payment liability or increase in the value of foreign


I exchange accounts receivables. In other words, foreign exchange
!
fluctuation is a contingency which has impact on every business
1 which may have something to do with foreign exchange and is not

specific and unique to te!ecom busim:ss.


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 ofLF.

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, rc::venue/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 ApG R for the purpose of computation of LF.

D_c-bt-s-+-B-a-d- debt is an amount owed by a debtor tha1 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 ofreve_nue from operations.

Therefore, income on account of bad debts recovered shall not be

part ofApGR for the purpose of computation of LF.

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.

ANNEXURE-D to the NationAI Long Distance Service License Agreement

List of other income to be excluded rrom GR to arrive ot ApGR

SI. Item/ Head of Description and conditions applicable


No. 'Other Income'
a. Income from Income from dividend is return on investment made by the company.
Dividend Such investment is made out or 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.
Thcn:forc, income from dividend shalJ not be part of ApGR for the
purpose of computation of LF.
b. Income from lncome from interest is return on investment made by the company in
Interest bank deposits, corporate deposits, debentures etc. Such investment is
made out o f surplus funds available with the company. Also
sometimes, Licensei: receives interest from Tax Authorities on
advance la;\ 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. Tht.-se deposits
essentially arc pan of Lelecom operations. The interesl income earned
on such amounts should be recorded and certified by statutory
auditors.
1
Therefore, income from interest shall not be part of ApGR for the
purpose of computation of Lf'. However, i.nlcn:st earned on
refundable deposits from customers. tclecom 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
ApGR.
c. Capital gains on Capital gain earned by the Licensee on the account of profit on sale
account of profit of assets and securities, arc of from investing activities instead of
on sale of fixed from telecom operations. Therefore, the revenue on account ofsale of
assets and immovable propeny, l>Ccurities, warrants or debt instruments. other
securities items of fixed assets shall not be part of ApGR for the purpose of
computation ofLF.
d. Gains from Foreign Exchange differences arise when actual rates at the time of
Foreign Exchange settlement differs from those at which they were in.itiaUy recorded lO
~,_ rates _,,...-..,...._the books. The provisions contained in the AccountLng Standard· I I
fluctuations
________________

~ Page 4of 8

261
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
accounts as other income. This basically represents an adjustment 60
instead of actual revenue earned.
Therefore, income on account of excess provisions written back shall
not be part of ApGR for the purpose of computation of LF.

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
and tmique to telecom business.
Therefore, revenue/profit arising out of upward valuation or
devaluation on account offluctuation of foreign exchange shall not be
part of ApGR for the purpose of computation of Lf.

e. Income from Licensee may rent or lease parl of !.heir properties and earn revenue in
property rent 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, mailltaining and working of
telecommunication', then revenue/income from such rent shall be
considered in ApGR for the purpose ofcomputation ofL P.

f. Insurance claims A receipt from Insurance company against loss ofproperty/fixed assets
is basically a reimbursement in nature for the loss occurred by the
Licensee. Receipt of insurance claim from insurance company ~hall
not be part of ApGR for the purpose of computation ofLF.

g. Bad Debts Bad debt is an amount owed by a debtor that is unlikely to be received/
recovered realized and recognize<l as an expense in lhe books of accounts. Bad
Debts recovered represent" reversal ofdehits (i.e. had debts) appearing
in the profit and loss account of previous year(s). This basically
rcpn:scnls an aqjustment lo the fl:IIlOunt of an expense (i.~. bad debts)
as estimated in an earlier year(s) in which it had already recorded as
part of revenue from operations.
Therefore, income on account of bad debts recovered shall not be part
of ApGR for the purpose ofcomputation of Lf.

written back provision made for any liability or expenses in any previous year. On

customers, tclccom vendors and other Licensees shall be considered in
ApGR for tl1c purpose of computation of LF. Also, any refundable deposit

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,

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.
