Bangladesh Telecommunication Regularity Commission has asked the Grameenphone to sit next week with the regulator to resolve the dispute on unpaid tax and revenue.
The regulatory authority in a letter on Wednesday advised the mobile phone operator to sit on Monday next for clarifying their position on the unpaid amount of Tk 3,034 crore. The regularity body issued the letter in response to the GP's Tuesday's letter to BTRC, requesting a date for bi-lateral discussion.
A BTRC official said they had suggested GP sent a team of 3-5 members to have discussion about their queries regarding the audit and unpaid payment.
GP sources confirmed receiving the letter from BTRC, but could not make any comments on the possible meeting.
BTRC chairman major general Zia Ahmed (retd) told the news agency on Wednesday that he expected that the company would sit for discussion instead of giving press statement.
Earlier on October 4, the telecom regulator asked GP to pay their unpaid tax and revenue of Tk 3,034 crore by October 24 or face legal action. Of the amount, Tk 2146.54 crore is owed to the BTRC and rest Tk 887.57 crore to the National Board of Revenue.
