Moreover, for AJ&K & GB, VRG has even not been awarded any Third Party Service Provider (TPSP) license. Hence, the general public is advised not to undertake any commercial activity till all the license conditions for the commercial launch of AMA scheme have been met by VRG as per TPSP License.

PTA has already directed VRG to immediately stop any such commercial operations in relation to AMA scheme until PTA issues commencement certificate to VRG.
