采访中ET现在,JS迪帕克,电信部长说,政府33000卢比+ 15%服务税,从这些拍卖史上最高。编辑摘录
等:这是一个大型光谱销售,七个乐队。大量的频谱是放在桌子上。你的第一个想法最终结果满意,不满意吗?
JS迪帕克:拍卖,这是一个非常大的体积,是各种光谱,乐队提供的数量,同时e-auction化——在复杂性和复杂性。拍卖系统准确无误地运行,从而通过一个透明的过程,自然资源被出售在市场决定价格的频谱。政府谈到经商和工作的透明度。这是一个证明的那种视觉。这是第一个从拍卖就我而言。
JS迪帕克:我看——有三个标题这拍卖。首先是作为你提到我们把大量的频谱拍卖和频谱出售大约965兆赫。这使得大量的可用频谱,现在已经成为行业推出网络和提供服务。这965兆赫比频谱拍卖中出售累计的数量我们做了2012年,2013年、2014年和2015年。
我们在这四个拍卖售出了930兆赫,这里我们有在一个拍卖售出了965兆赫。所以行业被频谱匮乏的问题,作为一个约束提供优质的服务。根据我,印度现在是历史上频谱稀缺。谱问题将不再是一个问题。第二个带走的收入。政府把所有的频谱拍卖。没有试图创建一个稀缺人为推高价格,适时地欣赏了这个行业。如果你看一下报价,报价达到66000卢比。预付收入,我们得到的是大约32000卢比。再次,前期收入收集曾经在过去的五年里最高的。 It is more than what we got from the auction in 2012 or 2013 or 2014 or 2015. So that is good for the government. I am touched by the concern of many people about government revenues and let me point out that this as far as revenue in financial year from an auction is concerned, this is the highest in the last five years.
等:如果你把700兆赫。这完全是一个单独的讨论,它实际上是一个巨大的成功的政府?
JS迪帕克:这些参数,将足够的频谱的行业提供优质的服务,获得前期收入高,自2010年以来最高,电子拍卖系统准确无误地运行,它一直赢,赢,赢,我们非常满意。
等现在:你现在提到频谱短缺将成为历史,所以你会让电信公司的错如果不能提高服务质量呢?
JS迪帕克:我不会那样说。我们已经与电信运营商合作,不断改善服务质量,我们有一个便利的方法。的两个真正的问题是正确的波和频谱可用性。现在频谱可用性将不再成为一个问题。有足够的频谱的乐队,在他们想要的数量。我们正在与行业和与当地机构和其他人提供网站和塔,这是一个很好的改善。在过去的100天,近9000名额外的网站已经提出。所以它正在发生。
等现在:我的理解。提到的图的预算大约99000卢比从电信包括55000 - 56000卢比频谱出售。如果我们用这个基准。然后落在短的收入但帮助我们明白什么是确切的目标,从频谱出售在那里和你达到或实现了吗?
JS迪帕克:预算和收入的数据来自电信行业也在这个财政年度当然有它的细节,我们有许多的收入来源包括频谱拍卖。同意图电信部门和财政部之间的数量必须来自会议这一数字频谱拍卖,我们几乎是我们等待10天看到我们得到的实际数额的收入是什么,让我向你保证,我们有望实现2016 - 2017年财政收入目标。
等:这不是55000卢比?
JS迪帕克:当然不是55000卢比。
等:这是什么范围的如果你实现了吗?
JS迪帕克:我们不要进入。
等:只是总体的理解发生了什么99000卢比的目标。很明显。政府财政肯定得到不同的图片,因为他们已经从电信整体预算99000卢比的55000卢比,或56000卢比supoosed来自于频谱出售。所以政府财政会发生什么变化?他们得到拉伸吗?
JS迪帕克:我们有六个月的时间去走。所以等着看。
等现在:频谱出售旁边的其他组件,可以进来吗?
JS迪帕克:我们有一些组件,你知道,我们有执照费,我们有光谱的指控。我们有其他指控。
等现在:你可能得到其他指控,因为电信当然是行业大规模进入诉讼最好的我的记忆里。所有这些征税的可能性是什么?
JS迪帕克:我们正在各种问题,我只能建议你看这个空间。
外星人:所以你是说整体的政府收入32000卢比+ 15%服务税的范围约为35000卢比,你今年会议的目标吗?
JS迪帕克:提前拍卖收入将超过32000卢比,除了政府15%服务税已征收今年没有去年。

In an interview with ET Now, JS Deepak, Telecom Secretary<\/a>, says government got Rs 33,000 crore plus 15% service tax, the highest ever from these auctions. Edited excerpts<\/em>ET Now: It was a mega spectrum sale, seven bands. A lot of spectrum was put up on the table. Your first thoughts on the final results \u2013 satisfied, not satisfied?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>This was a very large auction -- in volume, variety of spectrum that was put up, the number of bands on offer and simultaneous e-auction processs -- both in complexity as well as in sophistication. The auction system worked flawlessly and thus through a transparent process, a natural resource was sold at a market determined price of spectrum. The government talks of ease of doing business and transparency in work. This is a vindication of that kind of vision. That is the first take away from this auction as far as I am concerned.
<\/div><\/div>ET Now: The government actually took a very bold decision this time around. It did not create any spectrum scarcity, the entire spectrum that was available was put up for sale for the industry. Do you think that was a reason why the results were below expectations?
JS Deepak<\/strong>: The way I look at it \u2013 there are three headlines to this auction. The first is as you mentioned we put up a huge amount of spectrum for auction and the spectrum sold is about 965 megahertz. This makes it a huge amount of spectrum which has now become available with industry to roll out networks and to provide services. This 965 megahertz is more than the amount of spectrum sold cumulatively in the auctions that we did in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
We sold 930 megahertz in those four auctions, here we have sold 965 megahertz in one auction. So the problem of the industry being starved of spectrum and that being a constraint to providing quality of services is over. According to me, spectrum scarcity in India is now history. Spectrum issues will no longer be a problem. The second take away is on the revenues. The government put all the spectrum to auction. There was no attempt to create a scarcity to artificially push up prices and that has been duly appreciated by the industry. If you look at the bids, the bids reached about Rs 66,000 crore. The upfront revenue which we get is about Rs 32,000 crore . Again, the upfront revenue collection is the highest ever in the last five years. It is more than what we got from the auction in 2012 or 2013 or 2014 or 2015. So that is good for the government. I am touched by the concern of many people about government revenues and let me point out that this as far as revenue in financial year from an auction is concerned, this is the highest in the last five years.

I am touched by the concern of many people about government revenues and let me point out that this as far as revenue in financial year from an auction is concerned, this is the highest in the last five years.
<\/div><\/div>In addition, this year we have a 15% service tax levied on spectrum which was not there last year. So as far as government revenues are concerned, it is Rs 33,000 crore plus 15% at the minimum, that is I mean revenues you will always want more than what you have but this is the kind of revenue that we are going to get from this auction.
ET Now: If you take aside 700 megahertz. which is a separate discussion altogether, it has actually been a huge success for the government?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>On these parameters -- putting enough spectrum in hands of industry for providing quality of services, getting high upfront revenues, highest ever since 2010 and the fact that the electronic auction system worked flawlessly, it has been win, win, win and we are quite satisfied with it.
ET Now: You mentioned that spectrum scarcity will be history now, so will you hold telecom companies to fault if service quality does not improve?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>I would not put it that way. We have been working with telecom operators to continue to improve quality of services and we have had a facilitating approach. The two genuine problems they had was right of wave and spectrum availability. Now spectrum availability is no longer going to be a problem. There is enough spectrum in the bands they want, in the quantities they want. We are working with the industry and with local bodies and others to make sites available and towers and there is a great improvement in this as well. In the last 100 days, almost 9000 additional sites have been put up. So it is happening.
ET Now: To the best of my understanding. the figure in the budget mentioned about Rs 99000 crore from telecom which included Rs 55000-56000 crore from spectrum sale. If we were to use that benchmark. then you fall on short of the revenues but help us understand that what is the exact target that was there from the spectrum sale and have you achieved or over achieved that?
JS Deepak:<\/strong> The figures in the budget and the revenues from telecom sector that is to come in this financial year of course there are details of it and we have number of sources of revenue including the spectrum auctions. The agreed figure between the department of telecom and ministry of finance, the amount that has to come from spectrum auctions for meeting that figure, we are almost there and we wait for 10 days to see what are the actual amounts of revenue we get and let me assure you that we are on track to achieving our revenue targets for the fiscal 2016-2017.
ET Now: So it is not Rs 55000 crore?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>Certainly not Rs 55000 crore.
ET Now: And what is that in the range of then if you have achieved that?
JS Deepak<\/strong>: Let us not get into that.
ET Now: Just to understand that what happens for the overall Rs 99000 crore target. Obviously. the government\u2019s finances definitely get a different picture because they have budgeted for Rs 99000 crore from telecom overall out of which Rs 55000 crore or Rs 56000 crore is supoosed to come from spectrum sale. So what happens to government finances? Do they get stretched?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>We have six more months to go. So wait and watch.
ET Now: What are the other components that can come in beside spectrum sale?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>We have a number of components which you are aware of, we have licence fee, we have spectrum charges. We have other charges.
ET Now: Are you likely to get the other charges as well because telecom of course is a sector which is massively into litigation to the best of my memory. What are the likelihood of all these levies actually coming?
JS Deepak: <\/strong>We are working on various issues and I would only advice you to watch this space.
ET Now: So you are saying the overall government revenues will be Rs 32000 crore plus 15% service tax which is in the range of about Rs 35000 crore and you are meeting the target for this year?
JS Deepak:<\/strong> The auction upfront revenues will be more than Rs 32000 crore and in addition the government gets 15% service tax which has been levied this year which was not there last year. <\/div><\/div>
