的最高法院由于由N Rao法官和Aniruddha Bose法官组成的法院被取消，(最高法院)不太可能对电信公司的修改上诉作出判决。
“请注意，由于2021年7月22日星期四法官Aniruddha Bose无法出席，由Nageswara Rao法官和Aniruddha Bose法官组成的第6号法院的开庭被取消，并于22日在该法庭上列出了事项。最高法院在一份通知中表示:“2021年7月24日将不会开庭审理。”
调整后的总收入(AGR)的判决预计是由抗辩沃达丰的想法(Vi),Bharti Airtel而且塔塔电信服务公司(TTSL)电信部门其AGR计算存在计算错误。
Vi自我评估的会费为2153.3亿卢比，Airtel为13003亿卢比TTSL219.7亿卢比，这三个人在请愿书中都说这远远低于实际数字电信部(DoT)向他们询问。
在之前的AGR听证会上，最高法院驳回了电信公司的上诉。
在上周一最高法院的听证会上，Vi与Airtel和TTSL一起，强调了交通部在计算时犯下的错误AGR费这导致了需求的膨胀。电信公司在1月份提出了单独的请求，要求修改2020年9月20日的最高法院命令，该命令宣布交通部的AGR计算为最终结果。
2019年10月，印度交通部和电信公司之间近20年的AGR之争似乎结束了，最高法院扩大了AGR的范围，将非电信项目包括在内。一年后，最高法院裁定交通部的AGR计算是最终结果，取消了电信公司的自我评估。
根据政府的计算，该裁决使Vi公司面临5840亿卢比的会费，Airtel公司面临43980亿卢比的会费，塔塔电信服务公司面临16798亿卢比的会费。其中，Vi支付了785.4亿卢比，Airtel支付了18003亿卢比，塔塔电信支付了4197亿卢比。电信公司需要在2031年3月31日之前分10期支付余额。

The Supreme Court<\/a> (SC) is unlikely to pronounce its judgement on modification appeals by telcos as the bench comprising of Justice N Rao and Justice Aniruddha Bose stands cancelled.
\u201cTake notice that due to non availability of \u2026Justice, Aniruddha Bose on Thursday, the 22nd July, 2021, sitting of court number 6 comprising of \u2026Justice Nageswara Rao and Aniruddha Bose stands cancelled and matters listed before this bench on 22. 07.2021 Thursday will not be taken up for hearing,\u201d stated the top court in a notification.
The adjusted gross revenue (AGR) verdict expected is on the plea by Vodafone Idea<\/a> (Vi), Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Tata Teleservices (TTSL<\/a>) that the telecom department<\/a> had computational errors in its AGR calculation.
<\/div><\/div>The top court's decision on will be crucial for Vi, which has reiterated that reduction in statutory dues was one of factors necessary for its viability.
Vi had self-assessed its dues at Rs 21,533 crore, Airtel at Rs 13,003 crore and TTSL<\/a> at Rs 2,197 crore and all three in their petitions had said that these were far less than what Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) had asked them for.
The SC had in previous AGR hearings rejected telcos\u2019 appeal.
At a hearing in the Supreme Court last Monday, Vi along with Airtel and TTSL , highlighted errors made by the DoT while calculating AGR dues<\/a>, which had led to inflated demands. The telcos had filed separate pleas in January, seeking a modification of the September 20, 2020, top court order which had declared DoT\u2019s AGR calculations as final.

The almost two decade AGR battle between the DoT and telcos seemed to end when in October 2019, SC widened the scope of AGR to include non-telecom items. A year later, the top court held that DoT\u2019s AGR calculations were final, scrapping self-assessments done by the telcos.
The ruling left Vi facing dues of Rs 58,400 crore, Airtel, Rs 43,980 crore, and Tata Teleservices, Rs 16798 crore, as calculated by the government. Of these, Vi has paid Rs 7854 crore, Airtel, Rs 18,003 crore and Tata Tele, Rs 4,197 crore. The telcos need to pay their balance dues in 10 instalments through March 31, 2031.
<\/div><\/div>However, a new battlefront opened up in January with the modification appeals.

<\/a><\/div>SC to rule on AGR 'calculation error' plea on Thursday<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>Want to show DoT error in calculations: Telcos to SC<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
The almost two decade AGR battle between the DoT and telcos seemed to end when in October 2019, SC widened the scope of AGR to include non-telecom items. A year later, the top court held that DoT\u2019s AGR calculations were final, scrapping self-assessments done by the telcos.
The ruling left Vi facing dues of Rs 58,400 crore, Airtel, Rs 43,980 crore, and Tata Teleservices, Rs 16798 crore, as calculated by the government. Of these, Vi has paid Rs 7854 crore, Airtel, Rs 18,003 crore and Tata Tele, Rs 4,197 crore. The telcos need to pay their balance dues in 10 instalments through March 31, 2031.
<\/div><\/div>However, a new battlefront opened up in January with the modification appeals.

<\/a><\/div>Want to show DoT error in calculations: Telcos to SC<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
The almost two decade AGR battle between the DoT and telcos seemed to end when in October 2019, SC widened the scope of AGR to include non-telecom items. A year later, the top court held that DoT\u2019s AGR calculations were final, scrapping self-assessments done by the telcos.
The ruling left Vi facing dues of Rs 58,400 crore, Airtel, Rs 43,980 crore, and Tata Teleservices, Rs 16798 crore, as calculated by the government. Of these, Vi has paid Rs 7854 crore, Airtel, Rs 18,003 crore and Tata Tele, Rs 4,197 crore. The telcos need to pay their balance dues in 10 instalments through March 31, 2031.
<\/div><\/div>However, a new battlefront opened up in January with the modification appeals.
