Bharti Airtel Limited has paid a penalty of Rs 1,57,000 to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for alleged violations of subscriber verification norms. The telecom operator received the notice from the Maharashtra LSA on May 26, 2026, and decided not to contest the financial implication, which is limited to the penalty amount.

The penalty follows a Customer Application Form Audit (CAF Audit) conducted by the DoT to verify compliance with licensing terms. Under the license agreement, the company is required to ensure adequate verification of customers before enrolling them as subscribers and comply with specific instructions issued by the DoT in this regard.

The disclosure was made to the stock exchanges on May 27, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing confirmed that the maximum financial impact of the communication is restricted to the penalty levied.
