CAG's BSNL Loss Estimate from RJIL Deal Rectified: Misinterpretation of Clause

• Minister Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar stated CAG's BSNL loss estimate from RJIL deal was based on a misinterpretation of a clause.
• CAG's report last year cited BSNL's failure to bill RJIL for additional technology on shared infrastructure, estimating a ₹1,757.76 crore loss.
• The Minister clarified there is no revenue loss to BSNL or the government, as the "add-on technology" clause was misinterpreted.
• The clause has been rectified, and BSNL has issued revised invoices to RJIL.
• Actions taken include resolving agreement ambiguities, monetizing inventory, and preventing future lapses.
