Bharti Airtel has received a notice from the Department of Telecommunications, Madhya Pradesh LSA imposing a penalty of Rs. 2,10,000 (Rs. 2.1 lakh). The penalty is for alleged violation of subscriber verification norms discovered during a Customer Application Form (CAF) audit conducted by DoT for February 2026. The company was required under its license agreement to ensure adequate verification of subscribers before enrollment. The company has decided not to contest the penalty and will pay the amount. The financial impact is limited to the penalty amount only.
The penalty amount of Rs. 2.1 lakh is negligible for a company of Bharti Airtel's scale and is unlikely to have any material impact on financials or shareholder value. However, it highlights regulatory scrutiny on telecom operators for compliance with subscriber verification norms.
