Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) received an extension on its unified license (UL) by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for the next twenty years after the state-owned telecom operator submitted a bank guarantee (BG) worth Rs 250 crore.
Post the renewal of the license, which had expired on February 28 this year, BSNL would now be able to provide seamless 2G, 3G and 4G services across 20 telecom circles.
On December 10, the DoT had signed an agreement with BSNL, saying that the 'license shall be valid for a period of 20 years from the effective date of this license unless revoked for reasons specified elsewhere in the document.
While the agreement was signed on Thursday, the license has been granted starting from February 29 this year. Since the start of March, BSNL has been offering services on need-basis.
