It is reported that Communications Minister is moving to return Rs.7000 crores of  Tax to BSNL remitted by the latter to the government. It is also stated that DOT has been asked to refund the Rs.6794  crores to BSNL for the spectrum returned.
If the report is correct it is a good decision. The Forum of BSNL Unions/ Associations has been continuously demanding that the government refund these amounts, but there has been no response so far.
In this connection an amount of Rs.1250 crore from the USOF which has already been approved for 2013-14 should be also paid immediately.
