The Empowered Group of Ministers on Telecom, headed by Finance Minister P Chidambaram, is scheduled to meet on October 3 to decide on the issue of one-time fee on spectrum held by existing telecom operators.

"Yes, it is (EGoM meet) on October 3," confirmed a senior government official when asked about the schedule for the meeting.

In July, the Cabinet had referred the matter to EGoM for obtaining its view. Later in the month, EGoM had deferred a decision on the matter till the outcome of Presidential Reference.

Following the Supreme Court's opinion on the Presidential Reference, the government is now free to take a decision in this regard.
