    MUMBAI: Multi system operator Digicable has launched an utility service app for Kolkata. Christened, Complete E-payment Solution, this mobile app will initially be available only to the local cable operators (LCOs).

     

    The app will allow the LCOs to provide a wide array of hassle-free utility services at the doorstep of their customers. This value added facility will present the LCOs another source of income.

     

    The customers can avail this facility from their LCOs to make instant payments for services including credit card bill, electric bill, mobile bill payment, direct to home (DTH) recharge, mobile recharge, cash deposit in own bank account, train, flight and movie ticket booking, at a very nominal cost while enjoying the comfort of their home.

    As a confirmation of the payment, a real time receipt will be sent to the customers’ registered mobile number with no added cost.

     

    The company has associated with leading banks, mobile/DTH/airline operators, Indian Railways and The Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) to provide fast and smooth utility solution services.

     

    Multicon Group & Digicablecomm Services chairman Dileep Singh Mehta said, “Being an operator friendly MSO, we always strive to enhance our services and provide new opportunities to the local cable operators. This facility will not only help the LCOs to enhance their earnings but it will also enable the customers to make most of the essential utility service related transactions from the comfort of their home and on a completely secured and accountable network.

    Kolkata HC puts stay order on Digicable Comm Service’s license cancellation till 29 August

    KOLKATA: Granting relief to Digicable Comm Services, the Calcutta High Court has put a stay order on the cancellation of the registration of Kolkata-based multi-system operator (MSOs) till 29 August.

     

    In the order that was passed on 12 August, it states that “The petitioners having been in business for quite some time would suffer irreparable loss and injury, unless appropriate ad-interim protection is granted to them.”

     

    It continues to say, “The operation of the order dated 17/18 July, 2014 shall remain stayed till 29 August 2014”.

     

    Last month, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) had cancelled the registration of Digicable.

     

    The Digicable counsel had argued in the court that the MIB had only stated the reason for cancellation of registration as not receiving security clearance from the Home Ministry. However, it did not give the reason for denial of security clearance. The counsel from the ministry side stated that the reason for clearance not being given cannot be disclosed to Digicable for security reasons.

     

    The court also observed that when the company was given the DAS licence in 2013, that was subject to the security clearance from Home Ministry and the same has been denied in the order passed last month. They were subsequently asked to stop operations within 15 days.

     

    Digicable Comm was hopeful that after appealing to the Home Ministry and moving the High Court, the decision would be in favour of the MSO.

     

    The company is a joint venture between Digicable (51 per cent) and Kolkata-headquartered Multicar Group (49 per cent) was formed in the year 2009, to gain the foothold in the West Bengal market.

     

    “We will follow the mandate. We are hopeful that the authorities would consider the minute details presented by us,” said Digicable Comm director Dileep Singh Mehta.
