WHAT IS TELECOM LICENSING & AUTHORISATION?
Telecom licensing in India is administered by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications. It grants statutory legal authority to entities to establish, operate, and maintain wired, wireless, optical fiber, and satellite communication networks.
Key parameters determining authorization prerequisites:
- Facility (NSO) vs. Virtual (VNO) Mode
- Circle Jurisdiction (National, State, SSA)
- Paid-up Capital & Net Worth Norms
- Financial & Performance Bank Guarantees
COMPLIANCE-DRIVEN NETWORK EXPANSION
Deploying telecom infrastructure without proper DoT authorizations can attract severe statutory penalties, legal actions under the Telecommunications Act, and confiscation of network equipment.
TeleTax Solutions provides end-to-end guidance from initial network design and SaralSanchar application filing to SACFA clearances, IRINN IP allocation, and continuous AGR/SARAS audit compliance.
