Bharti Hexacom has received a notice from the Department of Telecommunications (North East LSA) imposing a penalty of Rs. 2.64 lakh for alleged violation of subscriber verification norms under its telecom License Agreement. The notice follows a Sample Customer Application Form (CAF) Audit conducted by DoT for the quarter ending December 2025. The company received the notice on March 27, 2026. Bharti Hexacom has stated that the penalty is at a higher rate which is currently sub-judice before the Hon'ble TDSAT (Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal). The financial impact is limited to the extent of the penalty amount, if any becomes payable at the regular rate.
The penalty amount is very small relative to Bharti Hexacom's size and is unlikely to materially affect financials or operations. However, it signals continued regulatory scrutiny of telecom operators on KYC and subscriber verification compliance, with the company actively contesting the higher rate at TDSAT.
