Sensex pares gains; Hindalco up 4% To a question whether some private telcos are causing losses to the government by under-reporting earnings, Kamat replied in the negative, saying, "the department reconciles the revenues reported by companies with their annual audited published accounts to ensure that the government revenues are collected as per licence terms including applicable interest and penalty." He said the government also has no information to suggest that companies are exaggerating subscriber figures. Kamat said up to October 2009, the government disbursed Rs 1,635.53 crore for universal service obligation by the telecom companies. The targeted allotment for the current fiscal is Rs 2,400 crore, he said.
