The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has sent reminders to various agencies and departments, including the National Remote Sensing Agency and the Ministry of Home Affairs seeking details about the availability and usage of spectrum.
Prior to this, in March 2011, the CAG had sought details from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) about the availability of spectrum and its allocation to different agencies and private users like mobile operators.
The CAG has also sought information about price at which the spectrum was allocated to all agencies. While Ministry of Defence has responded saying they have not sublet its spectrum to any other agencies, CAG is in the process of sending them further queries on total quantum of spectrum held by them.
