The order concerns alleged non-compliance with the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018 in the quarter ended December 2024.
What the order covers
The order was received on 01 Nov 2026 and is issued under the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018, which govern commercial communications sent to customers. The regulator levies the disincentive of ₹89,16,000 for alleged non-compliance in the quarter ended December 2024.
The company's filing describes the violations only by that regulation and quarter, without listing their number or nature.
The company's response and possible impact
The company says the maximum financial impact is limited to the disincentive levied, and that it is reviewing the order and assessing the appropriate course of action. The filing does not give a payment deadline, and it does not say whether the company will appeal.
Against that scale, the disincentive is small, though the filing itself does not comment on its effect on results.

Not stated: when the amount must be paid, whether the company will challenge the order, and what effect it will have on results.
