How Anil Ambani could arrange funds needed to comply with the SC order

Reliance Communications, and its chairman Ambani, could use the Rs 394 crore received in I-T refunds, but they would still have to raise another Rs 177 crore

Holding Reliance Communications (RCom) Chairman Anil Ambani and two of the company’s directors guilty of contempt of court, the Supreme Court on Wednesday directed RCom to pay within four weeks Rs 453 crore of the Rs 571 crore it owes telecom equipment maker Ericsson. A failure to do so could land Ambani and the other two in jail for three months.

The Court was hearing three contempt applications that Ericsson had filed against Ambani and others for not clearing its dues.
