Ufone may face the music as Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has asked Ufone to pay Spectrum Administrative Fee for the year 2006, 2007 and 2008 with-in 30 days or its license will be suspended.
Though the copmany is doing a good business in the telecom market and the index shows a healthy grwoth by the Ufone, the dues are yet to be paid and the reluctance of the Ufone authorities is irking the PTA officials.
As per PTA sources, the Ufone has not been paying the annual spectrum administrative fee since 2006. As per the PTA, the phone company is liable to pay Rs. 220 Million (Approx) for annual spectrum fee of three year, late payment fee is also included in the total amount.
Source further revealed that the PTA has been repeatedly asking Ufone to submit this fee through multiple communications, and in this regards, the authority had sent a show cause notice to the Ufone authorities back in October 2008 – but all efforts went in vain.
The PTA has now finally issued a directive through which the authority has asked the Ufone to pay the fee with-in thirty days or face license suspension.
When contacted, Moazzam Ali Khan, the Head of Ufone Public Relationing (PR) section, said, “Yes, we have received the usual invoices from the PTA. The company will handle the issue as per process,” he added.
