The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has issued a 15-day ultimatum to United Telecommunication Limited to settle a substantial debt of Rs 7.42 billion.
Through a public notice released today, the NTA has directed United Telecommunication Limited to clear the outstanding payment in adherence to the terms and conditions outlined in the basic telephony service license agreement.
The outstanding amount, totaling Rs 7,429,337,337, comprises various fees, including license renewal fees, frequency fees, royalties, and contributions to the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund, among others.
The notice explicitly instructs United Telecommunication Limited to settle the dues within 15 days from the publication date of the notice, which is June 14.
