40. Challenges The cellular telephony is extremely competitive,and India has one of the lowest ARPUs in the world. Besides, ARPU growth is slowing. • It has an uneasy equation with Essar, which is one-third partner in Hutch-Essar. Tht could be a source of problem. • The Vodafone brand is relatively unknown in the Indian market. Besides the brand will cost money and take time • Telecom valuations are at a high and this could mean it is years Vodafone recovers its multi-billion dollar investment • Its big competitors are home-grown majors, who can manage the ‘environment’ better.

41. Issue • The showcause notice (SCN) will simply ask Vodafone why it should not be taxed for capital gains in India under Section 163 of the IT Act,” a source close to the development said. • Section 163 of the Act defines who all may be considered as agents of non-residents for the purpose of tax in India. Contending that the erstwhile Hutchison-Essar was an “agent” of non-resident Hutchison Inter-national; the income tax department has claimed that the Vodafone-Essar deal involved Indian operations and so is liable to be taxed in the country
