KATHMANDU, June 6:  The Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) has revoked the license of Binod Chaudhary’s CG Communications Limited. This action follows the cancellation of STS Telecom Sanchar Pvt Ltd’s license due to the failure to submit a renewal application within the required deadline.

CG Communications had originally obtained its rural telecommunication service license on November 21, 2003. However, the NTA revealed that the license was automatically canceled on November 16, 2023 as the renewal application and fee were not submitted on time, in accordance with Rule 12 of the Telecommunications Regulations 2054.

Despite intentions to maintain the service, CG Communications submitted the renewal application on December 8, 2023, nearly a month late. The NTA had already informed that the license had been automatically revoked as of January 2, 2024. The official notification was issued to CG Communications Limited in Sanepa through a public notice.
