In order to pay the debt, RCom has put all of its assets for sale. It also includes spectrum holding of 122 MHz, towers business, optical fibre network and data centres.

As the company reported a consolidated loss of Rs 30,142 crore for July-September due to provisioning for liabilities after the Supreme Court’s ruling on statutory dues, the firm’s chairman Anil Ambani has tendered his resignation. But the CoC has rejected Ambani’s resignation and asked to cooperate in insolvency proceedings.

This was the second-highest loss posted by any Indian corporate till date.
