Bharti Airtel fined ₹1.05 Lakh by DoT for Subscriber Verification Norms Violation
Bharti Airtel Limited received a notice from the DoT imposing a penalty of ₹1.05 lakh for alleged violations of subscriber verification norms. The penalty stems from a CAF Audit for June 2026. The company will pay the fine without contesting it.
The penalty amount of ₹1.05 lakh is negligible for a company of Bharti Airtel's scale, hence the impact is considered low.
The company has been fined by the Department of Telecommunications, which is a negative development.
