The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has directed Sahara India TV Network to clear carriage fees it owes to multi-system operator (MSO) IndusInd Media & Communications Ltd (IMCL). This amounts to Rs 8.7 million at 9 per cent interest per annum till the payment of the said amount. IMCL had filed a recovery petition for Rs 44.3 million from Sahara TV Network.
The parties had entered into an agreement for the carriage of general entertainment channel (GEC) Sahara One and Hindi movie channel Filmy in S band. Sahara had committed to pay Rs 75 million per annum plus service tax at the applicable rates. This amount was to be paid in equal monthly instalments of Rs 6.25 million each payable by or before 25 day of the month immediately following the month in which the payment becomes due. IMCL, in turn, was required to pay monthly subscription amount of Rs 416,667 exclusive of taxes to Sahara.
