What are the Recommendations for Spectrum Surrender?

The spectrum surrender guidelines given by TRAI now permit the telcos to surrender the spectrum after a minimum of 10 years from the date of acquisition of the spectrum. Further, the operators must make a request for surrendering the spectrum 12 months in advance. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will provide in-principle approval in 60 days from the date of the application and the telecom operators must clear all the dues related to the spectrum as communicated by DoT.
