Bank Guarentee for Telecom Sector
The rule will not be applicable in cases where bank guarantees have been furnished due to any court order or are subject to any litigation, the license amendment note said. The rules will not apply to telecom operators, who are currently going through the liquidation process.
However, the amended rationalisation of bank guarantees is subject to revisions. For instance, the existing bank guarantees furnished or required due to any court order or litigation will continue.
For your information, let us tell you that the rules of the License Amendment Note will not apply in those circumstances, where the bank guarantee has been given by the court or is subject to any legal dispute. Apart from this, the rules will also be applicable to those telecom operators who are going through their amortization process.
