The CBI has calculated the loss to the government from 2G spectrum allotment as Rs. 30,984.55 crore, while according to CAG report it is Rs. 1.76 lakh crore. According to R.K.Chandolia, IAS and Personal Secretary to former Minister A.Raja, the break up of the loss for issuing licence to the companies is as follows:
Company No of licences Loss to Govenment
Tata 19 GSM 3 CDMA Rs. 4930.66 crore
Unitech 22 Rs. 4441-05
Datacom 21 Rs. 4239.19
Loop 21 Rs. 4239.19
Reliance 14 Rs. 3379.58
Shyam 21 CDMA 1 GSM Rs. 2650.03
Swan 13 GSM Rs. 2624.26
Idea 9 GSM Rs. 1816.8

Spice 4 GSM Rs. 807.46
Allianz 2 GSM Rs. 403.73
HFCL 1 GSM Rs. 241.4
Total Rs.30984.55 Crore

According to Chandolia, all the companies who got the licences have got windfall benefit. He might have pointed out this to escape from conviction, but it seems that there is something fishy and some private companies are being allowed to escape. The Prime Ministe and former Finance Minister P.Chidambaram have got a lot to explain before the people of India.
