Vodafone has massive legitimate claims pending with GOI — ₹1,482 cr+ in GST/service tax refund disputes, income tax refunds pending for years, manipulated GST demands, and the extraordinary #OTSC case of ₹3,857 crores where the Government ITSELF sought court withdrawal — and the court refused. Litigant wants to leave. Judge won’t let it. Justice Misra — God only knows what drives this judicial enthusiasm when the sovereign itself seeks closure. OTSC resolution alone means ₹3,000–4,000 cr in DOT refunds plus removal of ₹15,000+ cr contingent liability from the entire industry. AGR — perhaps India’s most creative regulatory fiction. @DoT_India gets its cut whether you earn from telecom or ANY other business. Every rupee, every stream. Supreme Court upheld it — but upholding a definition doesn’t make it just. This wasn’t regulation. This was extraction dressed in legal language, bleeding an industry for over a decade. Digital Bharat Nidhi sits on ₹80,000–86,000 crores. Biggest contributor? Vodafone. Utilisation? Largely nothing. Government keeps extracting SUC levies, spectrum charges and AGR dues from the very company that filled it. These contributions were collected for a specific purpose — universal digital access — not as a slush fund for indefinite parking. If unutilised, they must be refunded to contributors. Governments are accountable to their citizens. Public money collected under a stated mandate cannot simply sit while the same contributors are bled dry elsewhere. Filling a tank nobody drives is not policy. It is impunity. BSNL got ₹3,00,000 crores of taxpayer money while haemorrhaging market share. Vodafone built its network with private capital and fights alone for survival. The silence around this asymmetry is as breathtaking as the asymmetry itself. Starkest injustice — spectrum. #RCom converted 800 MHz CDMA spectrum across 16 circles to LTE for just ₹5,384 crores under administrative allocation. #Vodafone and #Bhartiartl #ttml etc paid TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CRORES through competitive auctions for comparable holdings. Same spectrum. Same circles. Radically different price. If this isn’t unequal treatment institutionalised in policy — what is? Post-merger Vodafone carries surplus spectrum it cannot use and cannot surrender. Forced liability. Zero benefit. And then the final insult — the government took equity in Vodafone, not as a fair investor but against manipulated liabilities, effectively robbing existing shareholders. That equity, extracted under duress against contestable dues, must be cancelled or reversed. Fairness and judicial integrity demand nothing less. Through all of this @AdityaBirlaGroup has not flinched. Not walked. You don’t commit this conviction to a lost cause. You do it when truth is on your side and reversals are coming. Vodafone will survive and thrive. Liabilities contestable. Refunds real. Corpus real. Undervaluation real. Buy or hold #idea for an one year for true valuation to surface. Hats off to #Vodafone and @AdityaBirlaGroup — fighting not just for shareholders but for every investor and citizen who believes regulatory fairness is not too much to ask from the world’s largest democracy . Hope they are raising all these issues if not @narendramodi @JM_Scindia pls do justice 🙏🇮🇳 #Vi #AGR #Telecom #DOT #SatyamevJayate
