在2022年至2032年的10年期间，平均每年将有近2000名员工退休，这使该公司成为一个更专注于与私营行业企业——Reliance Jio、Bharti Airtel和Vodafone Idea——竞争的组织。

电讯管理局(点)已开始与银行讨论，以解决电信业的财务压力沃达丰的想法有限公司(VIL)急需资金注入以维持运营。
周五，美国交通部官员和高级银行家举行了一次会议，讨论沃达丰(Vodafone)消息人士称，并补充称，银行已被要求在审慎准则范围内寻找解决方案。
据消息人士透露，该国最大银行的高级官员表示印度国家银行巴罗达银行等也出席了会议。
与此同时,财政部已要求公共部门银行整理并提交有关其对整个电信部门，特别是VIL的债务敞口的数据。
如果VIL倒闭，公共和私人贷款机构都将面临18万亿卢比的损失。发放给银行的贷款有很大一部分是以担保的形式发放的，而公共部门银行在债务中占了很大一部分。在私营部门贷款机构中，Yes Bank和IDFC First Bank可能受到的影响最大。作为先兆，一些有融资敞口的私人银行已经开始拨备。
例如，IDFC第一银行已将VIL的账户标记为压力，并已对3244亿卢比(融资和非融资)的未偿敞口拨备了15%(48.7亿卢比)。
“这笔拨备相当于该帐户资金敞口的24%。截至2021年6月30日，上述账户是流动的，没有逾期付款，”该银行在其22财年第一季度投资者报告中表示，并将该账户称为“一个大型电信账户”。
根据官方数据，VIL调整后的总收入(AGR)负债为58254亿卢比，其中公司已支付785437亿卢比，未偿付5039.963亿卢比。
在如此庞大的负债背景下，发起人沃达丰(45%的股份)和Aditya Birla集团(27%的股份)都表示无法引入额外的资本。
Aditya Birla集团董事长Kumar Mangalam Birla在6月给内阁秘书Rajiv Gauba的一封信中说，投资者不愿意投资该公司，因为AGR责任不明确，频谱支付的充分暂停，最重要的是，最低定价制度高于服务成本。
Birla在信中说:“怀着对VIL连接的2.7亿印度人的责任感，我非常愿意将我在公司的股份交给任何实体-公共部门/政府/国内金融实体或政府可能认为值得保持公司持续经营的任何其他实体。”
上周，Birla辞去了这家陷入困境的电信巨头的非执行董事长一职。
政府在一个方面缓解了沃达丰的压力，它建议通过“2021年税法(修订)法案”，撤销对公司的所有补税要求。
2012年的立法，通常被称为追溯性税法，是在美国税法颁布后最高法院该年1月驳回了税务当局对沃达丰国际控股有限公司提起的诉讼。沃达丰国际控股有限公司未能扣除2007年支付给和记电讯的111亿美元预扣税，该公司购买了和记电讯在一家全资开曼群岛注册子公司的67%股权，该子公司间接持有和记电讯的权益沃达丰印度有限公司．
《2012年财政法案》(Finance Act 2012)修订了1961年《所得税法》(Income Tax Act)的多项条款，具有追溯效力，其中包含了旨在对非印度公司股份转让的任何收益征税的条款，这些公司从基础印度资产中获得了大量价值，比如沃达丰(Vodafone) 2007年与和记黄埔(Hutchison)的交易，或者凯恩能源(Cairn Energy)在2006-07年对印度业务进行内部重组，然后在当地交易所上市。
根据该法律，2013年1月，税务当局向沃达丰征收了1420亿卢比的税款，包括7990亿卢比的本金税和利息。2016年2月更新为2210亿卢比加上利息。
韦丹塔公司(Vedanta Ltd .)也受到了类似的要求，该公司于2011年收购了凯恩能源的印度业务。凯恩能源和沃达丰都根据印度与英国和荷兰签订的双边投资条约对这一要求提出了质疑，最近它们都得到了有利的裁决。
韦丹塔(Vedanta)也启动了仲裁，以挑战印度-英国条约下的税收要求。仲裁裁决还没有出来。

<\/figure>The Department of Telecommunications (DoT<\/a>) has initiated discussions with banks to address financial stress in the telecom sector, particularly Vodafone Idea<\/a> Ltd (VIL) that urgently requires fund infusion to stay afloat.
There was a meeting of DOT officials and senior bankers on Friday on the issue of Vodafone<\/a>, sources said, adding that banks have been asked to look for a solution within the prudential guidelines.
According to sources, senior officials from the country's biggest lenders State Bank of India<\/a> and Bank of Baroda were also present among others in the meeting.
<\/div><\/div>More such meetings are expected to take place in the coming days, they said.
Meanwhile, the finance ministry<\/a> has asked public sector banks to collate and submit data related to their debt exposure to the telecom sector in general and VIL in particular.
Lenders, both public and private, stare at a loss of Rs 1.8 lakh crore in case VIL collapses. A large part of the loans to the lender is in the form of guarantees with public sector banks having a lion's share of the debt. Among the private sector lenders, Yes Bank and IDFC First Bank may be impacted the most. As a precursor, some private lenders with a funded exposure have already started making provisions.
For example, IDFC First Bank has marked the account of VIL as stressed and has made provisions of 15 per cent (Rs 487 crore) against the outstanding exposure of Rs 3,244 crore (funded and non-funded).
\"This provision translates to 24 per cent of the funded exposure on this account. The said account is current and has no overdues as of June 30, 2021,\" the lender said in its Q1 FY'22 investor presentation, referring to the account as \"one large telecom account\".
According to official data, VIL had an adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liability of Rs 58,254 crore out of which the company has paid Rs 7,854.37 crore and Rs 50,399.63 crore is outstanding.

<\/div><\/div>The company's gross debt, excluding lease liabilities, stood at Rs 1,80,310 crore as of March 31, 2021. The amount included deferred spectrum payment obligations of Rs 96,270 crore and debt from banks and financial institutions of Rs 23,080 crore apart from the AGR liability.
In a backdrop of such a large liabilities, both the promoter Vodafone Plc (45 per cent stake) and Aditya Birla Group (27 per cent stake) expressed their inability to bring in additional capital.
Writing a letter to Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba in June, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said investors are not willing to invest in the company in the absence of clarity on AGR liability, adequate moratorium on spectrum payments and most importantly floor pricing regime being above the cost of service.
\"It is with a sense of duty towards the 27 crore Indians connected by VIL, I am more than willing to hand over my stake in the company to any entity-public sector\/government \/domestic financial entity or any other that the government may consider worthy of keeping the company as a going concern,\" Birla said in the letter.
Birla has quit the post of non-executive chairman post of the floundering telecom giant last week.
Giving relief to Vodafone on one front, the government has proposed to withdraw all back tax demands on companies with passage of 'The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021'.
The 2012 legislation, commonly referred to as the retrospective tax law, was enacted after the Supreme Court<\/a> in January that year rejected proceedings brought by tax authorities against Vodafone International Holdings BV for its failure to deduct withholding tax from USD 11.1 billion paid to Hutchison Telecommunications in 2007 for buying out its 67 per cent stake in a wholly-owned Cayman Island incorporated subsidiary that indirectly held interests in Vodafone India Ltd<\/a>.
The Finance Act 2012, which amended various provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 with retrospective effect, contained provisions intended to tax any gain on transfer of shares in a non-Indian company, which derives substantial value from underlying Indian assets, such as Vodafone's transaction with Hutchison in 2007 or the internal reorganisation of the India business that Cairn Energy did in 2006-07 before listing it on local bourses.
Using that law, tax authorities in January 2013 slapped Vodafone with a tax demand of Rs 14,200 crore, including principal tax of Rs 7,990 crore and interest. This was in February 2016 updated to Rs 22,100 crore plus interest.
A similar demand was also slapped on Vedanta Ltd, which bought Cairn's India business in 2011. Both Cairn and Vodafone challenged the demand under bilateral investment treaties India has with UK and the Netherlands, and they both got favourable rulings recently.
Vedanta, from whom no tax recovery was made, too initiated arbitration to challenge the tax demand under the India-UK treaty. That arbitration award has not come yet.
