While the company has sought 30 days to clear the spectrum payment, the company is also gearing up to clear the licence fee payment by September.

Due on late payment of spectrum instalment will attract 15 per cent interest rate on annual basis. The company will have to pay around Rs 1,700 crore for spectrum instalment and around Rs 710 crore for licence fee dues with interest. The total amount pending to be cleared by September is over Rs 2,400 crore.
