Can anyone clarify the applicability of section 209(1)(D) of the Companies Act, 1956 to DTH (Direct To Home) Services? Whether Cost Accounting Record Rules are applicable to DTH Services? Whether it falls under the category “Any other telecommunication service for commercial use” under telecommunication given in the List of Industries and the Products covered under section 209(1)(D) of the Companies Act, 1956 provided by the ICWAI?
