Arasu to pay 50% of Rs 277.5 crore dues to Sony : TDSAT

In a ruling, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSA) directed Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corp (TACTV) to pay Rs 138.75 cr to Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) for underreporting the subscriber base as revealed in the DAS audit, leading to financial loss to the broadcaster.

The parties are in disagreement about Arasu’s non-disclosure of bouquet packets.

Arasu will have to pay the 50% amount to Sony within two months. BCS Bureau
