Can MIB write to WPC to adjust the excess amount paid by some CRS and roll-back? Answer: MIB will discuss and provide advise on how to request for an adjustment. Refunds may not be possible, but renewals may be allowed reference of same DD number. Can we sell old equipment like Antenna, since our frequency has changed? Answer: You can give it back to your vendor, or sell to another party. But, you are not permitted to sell the Transmitter, as it is sold to you only, and licensed for that use only. In case your transmitter fails, and you have to replace, you need to write to WPC and make another request for the change of transmitter. Mr. Grewal reiterated their ministry’s continued support for all CRS and assured them to make timely help to CRS as needed. The workshop sessions on empanelment continued after tea. Catalysing the DAVP Empanelment – Success Story At the end of the session, the results were phenomenal! While only two organisations from the original list of invitees could not participate in the workshop, of the 29 stations, 17 stations were empanelled at the end of the workshop (one new station was empanelled while they were not on list); and 9 stations were able to register online, but not complete the process due to one of the following reasons: DAVP site was not accepting the IFSC code of the bank accounts, CR Stations were awaiting the delivery of PAN cards, for which applications were already made CR Station did not have Service Tax Registration A tracker and photography session in the end of of their completion was made making it a very lively process of accomplishment and celebration. The meeting ended with a vote of thanks for all interns who worked hard to support the CCFC team.
