19th Annual Report of MTS

Sistema Shyam TeleServices Limited
Chairmans Letter
Dear Members,
I am glad to be addressing you allour distinguished stakeholders.
I am writing to you at a time when the Indian General Election 2014 is over and the new Indian Government
is already in place. It is a general feeling that after rather continuous period of policy paralysis, the regulatory
environment is likely to undergo a significant change, further boosting business prospects across Indias key
industry sectors.
The Indian telecom market I believe, is a major pillar and growth driver for the countrys economy. The
telecom revolution and in particular, the mobility revolution is sweeping across India, touching and transforming
the lives of citizens across the metros, tier 1 and 2 cities as well as the rural area. Cell phones are now
ubiquitous and internet access through mobiles is becoming the norm, leading to greater inclusion and more
opportunities for the marginalized.
This is the reason why the telecom industry in India, despite the sluggish economic environment, continued
to remain upbeat during last year, creating greater optimism for the year ahead. Most segments of the telecom
industry witnessed growth during FY 2013-14 and the hope is that these will gain further momentum in FY
2014-15.
During FY 201314, the wireless industry saw its subscriber base jump by 35 million, increasing to 903 million
by February, 2014. The voice business witnessed strong growth as most operators raised their tariffs in an
attempt to drive revenue growth. This segment, however, faces a threat from OTT services such as WhatsApp,
Viber and Skype that could cannibalize SMS and voice revenues.
FY 2013-14 saw the broadband business pick up pace with subscriptions reaching 55 million (including
40.7 million wireless broadband users) at the end of December, 2013. Broadband subscribers now account
for a significant proportion of internet users in India and this segment of the wireless industry is expected to
grow exponentially over the next few years. Severe under-penetration of the market, falling PC prices,
introduction of newer devices and the desire of customers to be connected while on-the-move will catalyze
the expansion of this domain.
During the year, telecom operators additionally received some regulatory clarity on a number of issues
including M&A, spectrum trading, spectrum sharing and policy with regard to future allocation of spectrum.
The government completed auctions of 900 MHz in metros and 1800 MHz. Most of the spectrum in the
auctions was acquired by incumbents, resulting in virtual consolidation in the sector. The spectrum allocated
through these auctions meanwhile is liberalized and in the future, there is a possibility of 4G\LTE rollouts on
different bands currently being used exclusively for voice services.
I am glad to share that your Company viz. Systema Shyam TeleServices Ltd. (generally known also as MTS
India), after successful participation in March, 2013 in spectrum auction, by the middle of last financial year
had purchased extended frequency resourses (3 carriers in every operating circle) and received new
universal licenses in nine service areas.
2
Post the auctions, our new footprint covers 40 percent of the population and 60 percent of the data
market potential in India. Effectively, the Company managed to retain almost 75 percent of its pre-auction
revenues.
Clearly, with the Indian telecom market growing across all dimensions, the forecast for MTS India is also
promising. We now find ourselves in an environment, that after a tremendous lull and uncertainty, is increasingly
turning stable and positive and assures us of more robust business growth.
During 2013, MTS India has rejuvenated itself, set stringent goals and followed them up assiduously. The
Company has been focusing on rebuilding its business and optimizing it in line with its milestones and new
footprint. One of the biggest achievements of our Company in FY 2013-14 has been the launch of our
3GPLUS network across all nine operating circles, which is truly scaling the experience of our customers and
we feel, will result in high business impact.
Going forward, MTS Indias success will be determined by its ability to further harvest the voice business
through product and device innovations, and by its ability to grow its distribution network and build brand
value and recognition in the market. We have already made strides in some of these areas and despite the
challenges, emerged as a strong, recognizable brand. Today, MTS India is considered as a provider of high-quality
and innovative solutions. The Company has won several industry accolades such as the Most trusted brand
in India in 2013, Indias buzziest brand and has the second highest brand in the data category after Airtel.
MTS India has built a robust connect with Indias generation next, gaining popularity among youth through its
social media engagement initiatives.
The year ahead therefore appears positive, owing to the external environment, as well as the strategic changes
within MTS India, which should enable the Company to achieve its mid-term as well as long term goals. As we
inch forward towards our OIBDA break-even target, we also expect to compete aggressively within our
chosen telecom playgrounds.
I would like to thank each one of youour stakeholders, employees, our banking partners, government
agencies, promoters and holding companyfor helping and staying with us through our exciting, yet difficult
journey. Your support and encouragement have enabled MTS India to deal with the tough times, pull itself out
of the woods and view the future with greater hope and clarity.
Warm regards.

CEOs Message
Dear Members,
The year 2013-14 has been one of change and revitalization and we are now looking at consolidation
and growth for MTS India over the next 12 months. It is of tremendous importance with our
over-arching goal of achieving OIBDA break-even at the earliest and I do believe we are on target to
cross this milestone.
I am glad to share with you that the uncertainty that marked our agenda for India over the last two years
is behind us and that we have greater clarity now on our future goals and the roadmap to achieve these
targets.
While in the initial part of 2013-14, MTS India continued to witness a lowering of revenues due to a
decline in the customer base (which was impacted by lower gross additions as well as strict control over sales
and marketing expenditures, aggressive tariffs and predatory practices by competition), today, the trend is
reversing.
With the operating environment becoming more stable and spectrum wins backing us, we expect to notch
up higher top and bottomline growth.
As you may know, SSTL won three blocks of 1.25 MHz each in the 800 MHz spectrum band in eight service
areas in the spectrum auctions held by the government in March, 2013. SSTL was allocated third carrier in
October, 2013. After getting the third carrier, we upgraded our network to REV B Phase II services, providing
subscribers speed up to 9.8Mbps.
In the last few quarters, Q4 being the most recent, we have further improved our performance on all operational
parameters. Our consolidated revenues for instance have increased. We have stepped up on ARPU, expanded
data coverage to 550 towns, scaled our subscriber base for data cards and recorded the lowest OIBDA loss
in the last four years.
The highlight of Q4 in fact, was the launch of our revolutionary 3GPLUS network across all nine circles, which
has given us a first-mover advantage in the market and will have a positive impact on our revenues in future.
Today, with a footprint spread across nine circles, the company services 40 percent of the countrys population
and addresses around 60 percent of the data potential.
Also significant is the fact that according to Millward Brown Optimor 2013 Global Brand Value Rankings,
MTS has seen its brand value rise by 11 percent, making it the 82nd most valuable brand in the world.
Specifically looking at telecom brands, MTS is now pegged at the 9th position among the top 10 most
valuable telecom brands globally. It is assets such as these which we are leveraging to take forward MTS
Indias growth story.
In the months ahead, MTS Indias strategic focus will be on its operations in nine circles, where we will build
further scale and efficiencies. Key imperatives will include strengthening the voice and data business through
innovative and competitive products based on Rev B technology, a large, yet comprehensive devices portfolio
and greater penetration of the dongles and smartphones segment.
4
We expect to expand our High Speed Data (HSD) footprint and provide HSD services across 1000 cities and
towns of India. At the end of March, 2014, MTS India had 1.3 million data subscribers, out of a total user base
of 9.1 million.
The pace of growth in data revenues will continue to be much higher than voice growth. The reason for this
is MTS Indias focus on the data business, existing coverage and deployment of Rev B technology, reliable
service, product offerings and time-to-market advantages.
Voice however, will remain on our radar and we will be looking to roll out competitive tariff plans to increase
voice revenues. In order to enhance our voice network, draw more customers and convert existing data
subscribers to voice and data users, we will continue to introduce various customer-centric products like
Always Talk. The proliferation of low-cost smartphones will additionally fuel the demand for mobile data
services.
Going forward, MTS Indias success will be determined by its ability to further harvest the voice
business through product and device innovations and first, grow its distribution network and build
brand value and recognition in the market. We have already made strides in areas such as branding and
the MTS India Born for the Internet campaign, which has greatly improved our visibility in the market,
is a case in point. Our Q4 performance, which marked improvements across all operational parameters
and revenue linesvoice, data and smartphonesfurther leads us to believe that the year ahead will
be marked by optimism.
Our aim in 2014 therefore, is to monetize our voice network (ensuring over 50 percent utilization), be the
Number One CDMA dongle player (with a 50 percent SoGA [Share of Gross Addition]) and acquire over
50,000 new subscribers in the smartphones segment. Our endeavor will also be to rank among the top three
telecom companies in spontaneous brand awareness.
On the regulatory front, our ability to do business and upgrade to future generations of technology will
depend on the spectrum and license. There is still lack of clarity about the future roadmap for the 800 MHz
band and the auction of spectrum in this band. It will depend on the new government to clarify whether
further allocation of spectrum will be contiguous to the earlier allocation.
Clearly, a new horizon awaits us all and we are now looking to strengthen MTS Indias position in the market.
With a passionate team in place and our unwavering focus on delivering a higher customer experience, we
expect to win both mind and market share in the year ahead.
Thanking You,
Dmitry Shukov

DIVIDEND
In view of the losses incurred during the year under review,
your Directors do not recommend any dividend on equity shares.
The BRAND Brand MTS in India scaled new heights in FY 2013-14 by attaining
its highest ever spontaneous awareness score of 56 by the end
of Q4 2013. The positive trend was visible through several other
brand health parameters including significantly improved
Consideration and Intention-To-Purchase scores, and in key
image parameters. Within the datacard category, the equity of
brand MTS has further improved and now stands in second
position in the industry, only behind Airtel.
The consolidation of brand MTS in India was also evidenced
through several industry awards and market recognitions. One
of the most significant was the fact that MTS remained in
Economic Times prestigious list of Brand Equity 50 Most Trusted
Service Brands in India at Rank 37, a remarkable achievement in
the context of a reduced geographical footprint due to which
MTS was not operational in over half the survey centers. The
brand was recognized at several other forums including the ET
Telecom Awards 2013,AEGIS Graham Bell Awards and the OOH
Awards 2014.
Key marketing programs that contributed to the strong growth
of the brand included Always Talk (Voice campaign), 3GPlus/
MBlaze Ultra (Data campaign to launch Rev.B network), MTSMicromax Blaze (smartphone launch campaign), and the Internet
Baby campaign (Corporate/Brand campaign to underline network
superiority). The 3GPlus/MBlaze Ultra campaign targeting heavy
users of the internet was instrumental in leveraging the Rev.B
technology to reposition MTS vis--vis competing 3G brands,
resulting in improved ARPUs and retention. The Internet Baby
campaign targeting digital natives was launched in March 2014,
and has already proved to be the most successful campaign in
the history of MTS India; at the time of publishing this report it
had already become Indias most viewed telecom ad with over 7
million online views, and had received extensive earned media
coverage including PR and social media shares.
FY 2013-14 also saw brand MTS make dramatic strides forward
in its digital presence through a slew of social media, paid media
and e-commerce initiatives. The exponential growth in reach
and engagement in social media has resulted in MTS now having
nearly 2 million Facebook likes and the highest engagement
rate amongst telecom brands, and averaging two nationally
trending hashtags per month on Twitter. Multiple paid media
campaigns for the online shop, smartphones, 3GPlus and MBlaze
Ultra ensured a cumulative reach of over 100 million online
users, including a high impact campaign for 3GPlus that achieved
a reach of 15 million in a single day. The e-commerce store,
www.shop.mtsindia.in, launched in H2 2013, now averages
approximately 1000 sales per month, and is poised to scale up
significantly over the coming financial year.

LICENCES & SPECTRUM
The Government notified a new Unified License regime to allow
licensees to provide all services under the same license and
also to delink spectrum allocation from the license. In March
2013 spectrum auctions, SSTL won 3 carriers of 1.25 MHz each
in 800 MHz spectrum band in eight circles Delhi, Gujarat,
Karnataka, Kerala, Kolkata, Tamil Nadu, UP (West) and West
Bengal. Under the new licensing regime SSTL was granted
Unified License on October 3, 2013 with an authorization to
provide access services in these eight circles.The Unified License
will enable the company to provide technology neutral telecom
services for a period of 20 years. With this development, SSTL
became the first telecom operator in the country to be a part of
Unified Licensing regime.
SSTL has subsequently applied for authorization to provide
National Long Distance Service under the same license. Once
authorization is received your company will start carrying intercircle traffic which hitherto were handed over to other carriers.
After receiving Unified License, SSTL received the 3rd carrier
amongst 3 carriers which were won in March, 2013 auction. The
allotment of the 3rd carrier was significant as your company
could launch its next generation, REV B Phase II telecom services.
SSTL plans to acquire at least 5 MHz of contiguous spectrum
within the 800 MHz spectrum band for network upgradation as
well as to expand its footprint in the country. Your company
was keen to participate in the next round of 800MHz spectrum
auction for which Government in July, 2013 had sought TRAIs
recommendation on reserve price. TRAI on September 23,
2013 recommended that the auction in the 800 MHz band should
not be carried out and to explore the feasibility of adoption of
E-GSM band within 800 MHz spectrum band. Therefore, 800
MHz spectrum band auction could not take place along with the
auction of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz spectrum bands which was
held in February, 2014.
The Government has since rejected TRAIs recommendation
on 800 MHz and received fresh recommendation on reserve
price for 800 MHz spectrum band which is under consideration
of the Government.
The Government in February, 2014 has notified relatively liberal
merger and acquisitions (M&A) policy but also specified that
9

acquiring company would have to pay to the Government, the
differential between the entry fee and the market determined
price of spectrum for spectrum allocated administratively prior
to auctions starting 2010. The Government is also expected to
shortly announce spectrum trading or sharing guidelines. The
SSTL will explore all options including M&A, Spectrum Trading
or Sharing and spectrum auction to meets its spectrum
requirement.
In March 2013 fresh auction for allotment of spectrum was

conducted by the Department of Telecom, Government of India.
Your company also participated in the said spectrum auction for
800 MHz and won the spectrum for 8 telecom circles - Delhi,
Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Kolkata, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal
and Uttar Pradesh (West).
During the year under review your Company issued and allotted
3,433,500 0.01% Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.10/- each
on Private Placement basis to Insitel Services Private Limited at
a premium of Rs. 9,990/- per preference share.
Presently, the Company is in the process of restructuring its

business operations across India pursuant to the issue of fresh
Unified Licenses for the 8 circles for which it had won the
spectrum in the auction held by the Department of Telecom
(DoT). Moreover, the Company is also looking at / focusing on
the developments taking place in respect of second round of
Spectrum Auction of 800 MHz, which is expected to be
scheduled / held by DoT in future.
There has been no change in the issued, subscribed and paid up

equity share capital of the Company. The total paid up share

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

Wireless Market in India
During the financial year 201314 wireless industry witnessed
37 million increase in subscriber base to 905 million on Home
Location Register (HLR) basis. The slow-down in subscriber
addition is driven by stringent new subscriber verification norms
implemented by the regulator and increased focus by operators
to acquire profitable customers. However, during the same
period, the industry added 68 million active subscribers (on
Visitor Location Register basis) taking overall VLR subscriber
base to 791 million. Overall industry VLR% increased from 83.3%
in March 2013 to 87.4% in March 2014.

Q114
Industry gross revenue increased 10% y-o-y to INR 426 billion

between Q113 to Q114. During this period Average Revenue
Per User (ARPU) increased by 7% to INR 159 mainly on account
of increase in revenue per minute and better traction in data
business.
Voice business of most operators witnessed strong growth
during the year as most of the operators raised their tariffs
either by increasing headline rates or by cutting down on free
minutes throughout the year. With increase in input costs and
license liability, operators are expected to continue focusing on
tariff increase to drive revenue growth. A key threat to voice
business is cannibalization of SMS and Voice revenues by OTT
services like WhatsApp, Viber and Skype. Bharti, Idea and
Vodafone saw over 25% decline in their non-data VAS revenues
from Mar13 to Mar14. Non-data VAS revenues that contribute
approximately 6-7% of industry revenues is expected to fall
further in the near future.
Broadband subscription reached 55 million at the end of
December 2013, which includes 40.7 million wireless broadband
subscribers. Broadband subscribers now account for significant
proportion of internet subscribers. This segment of the wireless
industry is expected to grow exponentially in the years to come.
Severe under penetration of the market, falling PC prices,
introduction of newer devices and desire to be connected on
the move will be key growth drivers in future.

3G services in India started gaining traction during the year

driven by increase in devices penetration and increased
investments from operators to drive 3G business. The 3G
subscriber base almost doubled in 2013 to 35 million 3G
subscriber at the end of December 2013. 3G business momentum
is expected to continue with more investments from operators
and availability of smartphones at lower price points. Currently,
approximately 20% of the entire base tower stations (BTS)
installed in India are 3G enabled. This percentage is expected to
go up significantly in near future.
4G deployments in the sector are still at a nascent stage with
only one large player rolling out its 4G network in few cities.
Management is of the view that another operator will launch
4G services sometime in 2014, however, large scale 4G LTE
deployment will not happen in current year.
The sector witnessed regulatory clarity on a number of issues
including M&A, spectrum trading, spectrum sharing, and policy
with regards to future allocation of spectrum. The government
successfully completed auctions of 900 MHz in metros and 1800
MHz in other circles with total bid from auctions amounting to
USD 10.2 billion. Spectrum allocated through these auctions is
liberalized, which means players are free to use any technology
of their choice. In future, there is possibility of 4G\LTE rollouts
on different bands currently being used exclusively for voice
services. Most of the spectrum in the current auctions was
acquired by incumbents resulting in virtual consolidation in the
sector.

Discussion on Operational Performance
SSTL won 3 blocks of 1.25MHz each in 800 MHz spectrum band
in eight service areas in spectrum auctions held in Mar13 and
now has operations in nine service areas. Post auctions, the
new footprint covers 40% of population and 60% of data market
potential in India. Effectively, organization managed to retain
approximately 75% of its pre-auction revenues. Management
believes this reduced footprint gives faster path towards OIBDA
break-even for the business.
The Company after getting the new licenses was initially focused
on optimizing operations in line with new footprint.Then several
different strategies were adopted in order to optimize costs
and selectively grow data business. SSTL was allocated third
carrier which it won in Mar13 auctions in Oct13. After getting
the third carrier it upgraded its network to REV B Phase II
services providing its subscribers speed up to 9.8Mbps.
SSTL continues to have a data centric strategy with dongles and
smartphones as its priority focus areas. In the nine operational
circles, Company continues to expand its HSD footprints, and
now provides High Speed Data (HSD) services in approximately
500 cities and towns. During the year, SSTL launched several
new smartphones and plans to continue expansion of its
smartphones portfolio going forward in 2014. SSTLs subscriber
base as on Mar14 stands at 9.1 million including 1.3 million data
subscribers.

Unified License
Government has notified the new Unified Licensing regime to
delink assignment of spectrum from the license.The new Unified
License permits licensee to provide any telecom service. In
March 2013 spectrum auctions, SSTL had won 3 carriers of
1.25 MHz each in eight circles Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala,
Kolkata, Tamil Nadu, UP (West) and West Bengal. Under the
new Unified Licensing regime, SSTL has been granted Unified
License on October 3, 2013 with the authorization to provide
access services in these eight circles. The Unified License will
enable SSTL to provide technology neutral telecom services
for a period of 20 years. With this development, SSTL became
the first telecom operator in the country to be a part of Unified
Licensing regime.
SSTL has subsequently applied for authorization to provide
National Long Distance Service under the same license. Once
authorization is received SSTL will start carrying inter-circle
traffic which hitherto was handed over to other carriers.

Several initiatives were taken for Post paid customers which

resulted in the following:
Spectrum
Overall collection maintained at 95% with improvement in

due date collections from 56% in Apr13 to 64% in Mar14.
SSTL received the 3rd carrier in October, 2013 which it had

won in March, 2013 auction. The allotment of the 3rd carrier
was significant as your Company could launch its next generation,
REV B Phase II telecom services.
Provision for Bad Debt decreased from 9% to 6%.
Spectrum Auction
E-bill Penetration increased from 20% in Apr13 to 36% in

Mar14 with the help of a drive to reduce cost and improve
customer satisfaction.
SSTL plans to acquire at least 5 MHz of contiguous spectrum

within the 800 MHz spectrum band to upgrade network to
provide next generation telecom services and also to expand
19
its footprint in the country. Your Company was keen to

participate in the next round of 800MHz spectrum auction for
which licensor in July, 2013 had sought TRAIs recommendation
on reserve price. TRAI on September 9, 2013 recommended
that the auction in the 800 MHz band should not be carried out
and the possibility of adopting the E-GSM band (880-890MHz/
925-935MHz) by taking out 10 MHz from the existing CDMA
800 MHz band and clubbing it with the existing 900 MHz Band
should be explored.
The Government has rejected TRAIs recommendations on EGSM band and again sought its recommendations in December,
2013 on reserve price for 800 MHz band for all the service
areas. The TRAI on Feb 22, 2014 recommended that at least one
chunk of contiguous 5 MHz spectrum (i.e. 4 carriers) should be
carved out in 800 MHz spectrum band for auction by taking
back spectrum from PSUs and reassignment of carriers to the
existing TSPs in the 800 MHz band. TRAI has recommended
reserve price of Rs. 2685 crore for pan-India per MHz spectrum.
These recommendations are under consideration of the
Government.
Spectrum Sharing and Trading
TRAI on January 22nd, 2014 gave recommendations on Guidelines
for Spectrum Trading. As per recommended guidelines outright
transfer of spectrum shall be permitted. The spectrum assigned
through auction in the year 2010 or afterwards or on which TSP
has paid the prescribed market value shall be allowed to be
traded.
In addition to the Spectrum trading guidelines, TRAI is also
formulating guidelines for spectrum sharing i.e TSPs would be
allowed to share spectrum for simultaneous use using a common
Radio Access Network.The TRAI recommendations on Spectrum
Sharing are expected to be issued shortly.
SSTL will explore all options including Spectrum auction,
spectrum trading and spectrum sharing to acquire additional
spectrum within the 800 MHz spectrum band to meet its short
and long term requirements of spectrum for expanding its
footprint in the country and for deployment of next generation
technologies.
During the turbulent period SSTL has remained stable and

continues to attract and retain good talent by providing a
challenging and exciting work environment and growth
opportunities for career seekers.
By working closely together, the business functions and HR
have enabled the Company to meet its staffing requirements
and align its employee engagement and retention through
development activities.
At SSTL, the management supports the HR function in attracting,
developing, engaging and retaining expertise within the company.
Using a participative work approach and fostering a culture of
trust and openness, professional working, freedom to think,
direct communication and performance orientation, the
Company has remained a preferred workplace.
Some of the key initiatives undertaken by SSTL during the year
are grouped around the following key themes:
Talent Acquisition:
During the period April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014 around 308
people were added to the companys pool of human resources.
During the period April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014, 54 leadership

objective was achieved through implementation of structured

intervention of Critical Talent Identification and the retention
plan. Total of 305 numbers of Critical Talent were identified
from the closing circles of which 35 incumbents were redeployed
at the Department Level and 45 incumbents were redeployed
at Division, Group and Operations Level. 56% of the total HIPOs
were moved to new roles with higher responsibilities.
Employee productivity was marginally higher against the budget
for the year 2012 - 2013. Revenue per employee was INR 0.51
Million against the target of INR 0.5 Million.
Non Telecom, 12%
Telecom, 88%
The Company has successfully concluded annual performance

assessment for 2012 and bi-Annual performance assessment
cycle for the year 2013. New processes were introduced to
enhance the performance assessment resulting in overall
satisfaction score of 81%. In line with the Companys
organizational philosophy towards building a performance driven
culture, the focus has been on Capability review. There has
been an emphasis on competency assessment as an integral part
of appraisal process due to which the Company has looked
beyond KPI achievement and has focused on competency
demonstrated while performing the job. While the payout of
Performance Linked Incentive is linked to the fulfillment of preapproved KPIs, the decisions on compensation and level
progression (promotions) are closely integrated with the
competencies and capability of the incumbents.
Off Roll Manpower Management:
Talent Development
During the period April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company
launched 8 new policies /processes applicable to Outsourced
Manpower along with roll out of strong monitoring framework
on cluster management. New enhanced Recruitment Policy with
introduction of assessment test for Team leaders. Existing DST
policy was revised to drive productivity through attractive
incentive payout. Automation in offroll recruitment approval
mechanism, Data management & attendance management was
introduced during the year.
The focus of Talent development was on increasing employee

efficiency and helps them navigate through uncertain times,
through targeted sessions such as Business Simulations, Change
Management, Business Knowledge Sessions and Strategy cascade.
The majority of sessions were developed and delivered
internally, so that we achieve our objective within the projected
budget. During the reporting period, the Company conducted
no. of training programs and averaged over 2 man-days, against
budget of two man-days. The overall feedback score increased
to an all time high of 4.5 on a scale of 5.
First time the Company introduced online product certification

training course for off roll field employees. There was deliberate
focus on retention of top performers by providing them
opportunity for career growth i.e onroll movement against
vacant position. Total 23 offroll employees were absorbed for
onroll positions internally.
Talent Management:
SSTL underwent the Organization Transformation exercise
during the year 2012 2013 resulting in Organization Design
and manpower optimization exercise resulting in elimination
of the Management layer at the Regional level. This exercise
resulted in reduction of 37% in the headcount numbers and
40%in payroll cost over the period January to December 2013.
In the midst of the Organization Transformation and manpower
optimization exercise SSTLs major challenge was to retain the
critical talent (HIPOs). The objective was achieved successfully
with the overall attrition rate of HIPOs @ 13% against average
overall industry trend of 26% and SSTL attrition of 21.5%. This
Organization Development (include leadership

development)
For the development of a leadership pipeline and retention of
high potential employees, we launched the 2nd phase of the
MTS Leaders of Tomorrow (M-LOT) program. We targeted 5%
of the employee strength as possible HIPOs. The HIPOs
underwent a rigorous Fastrack Program, and were assigned to
projects for their functional development, based on their career
aspirations. A rigorous focus on HIPO retention and engagement
helped us to keep the HIPO attrition within a limit of 13%
(annualized). Focused Mentorship Program for HIPOs was
introduced during the year 2012-2013.
The Company also focused on internal leadership development
by organizing 360 degree individual assessment for the Top
Management Personnel and the feedback workshop, was also
organized for each incumbent.
In order to strengthen the Companys employer branding, an
21
internal brand statement was created.The companys HR policies

were aligned to the Brand Statement and training for managers,
to embed the brand, has been initiated. The focus of the Brand is
to move towards a high performance, aspirational culture, and
HODs were trained on how to create and achieve aspirational
goals through their teams - leading to increased productivity.
Specific interventions on Business Strategy Cascade and
Cluster Heads Development Workshops were conducted
during the year 2013. Total of 2000 employees were covered
for Business Strategy Cascade sessions and 50 cluster heads
were covered through Development Workshops.
In December 2013, SSTL conducted a survey on Employee
engagement to measure employee engagement scores on Say,
Stay and Strive resulting in overall contribution to the
Companys business success. There was overwhelming
participation in the survey with a 95.4% response rate and 71%
score level. The latter is above the engagement scores of the
Telecom Industry of 54%.
Conclusion
This is an extremely critical time for the organization where it
targets to become OIDBDA positive by the end of 2014. The
overall HR strategy is to drive the Company towards becoming
an Employer of Choice by year 2015.
The key challenge facing the company in this scenario of fast
business growth will be on enhancing talent capability, talent
engagement & driving talent productivity.
Therefore, the future agenda of the HR function at SSTL will be
to ensure that the organization remains a great place to work
and develops a strong employer brand. For this purpose, the
Company has planned a series of initiatives such as Creation of
Talent Bench for top management, Critical talent assessment
and development, Capability Building in line with Data Centric
Business Strategy and establishing SSTL as a strong Employer
Brand to Internal & External stakeholders.
Internal Control Systems
The Company has in place systems of internal control designed
to provide reasonable assurance with regard to the effectiveness
and efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting and
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The in-house Internal Audit department at SSTL is an
independent and objective function performing assurance and
consulting activities designed to add value and improve SSTL
operations. It helps the Company accomplish its objective by
bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and
improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and
governance processes. The audit team maintains an independent
status within SSTL at all times.The Head of Internal Audit reports
functionally to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and
administratively to the Chief Executive Officer. The internal
audit function adopts a risk-based audit methodology, which is
aligned with the risk profile of the company to ensure that the
relevant controls addressing those risks are reviewed on a
rotational basis. The scope of audit is extended to all of SSTLs
22
operations and third party service providers. In order to

supplement the audit assurance provided by in-house team; the
Company had also outsourced some of the audit work to two
third-party audit firms for the financial year 2013-14. The
deliverables of appointed audit firm are measured and evaluated
against performance KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
approved by the Audit Committee to ensure that reasonable
assurance is provided on the end-to-end spectrum of the areas/
processes defined in the agreed scope of work The internal
audit plan is prepared based on methodology similar to the one
adopted by parent company, Sistema JSFC. The methodology
takes in to account factors like company risk profile, company
strategy, top & middle management turnover, influence of
regulators/legislation, vulnerability to fraud, cost materiality and
results of previous audits to ensure all critical processes gets
covered.The final audit plan is approved by the Audit Committee
and Board of Directors of the Company. The Audit Committee
does a regular review of the Audit Reports and also reviews
update on the status of critical audit issues pending for
resolution, which are submitted by the Internal Auditors. In
addition, the Audit Committee performs a half yearly
performance evaluation of internal audit department. The
Committee also meets the Companys statutory auditors to
ascertain, inter alia, their views on the adequacy of internal
control systems in the Company and keeps the Board of
Directors informed of major observations, if any.
The Internal Audit function is also involved in streamlining the
audit methodology, starting from inception, through fieldwork
to final reporting, in order to fit in the COSO (Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission)
framework so that it is no longer incidental to the Companys
processes but provides the foundation for all of the Companys
audit work. Integrating COSO in this manner will add structure
to the audit process, ensure that appropriate criteria are
considered in key phases of each audit, and provide a trail to
support the conclusions reached. Therefore, an Audit
Management Process (AMP) document has been prepared to
bring clarity in terms of activities to be performed during the
conduct of audit to ensure smooth and efficient management of
all SSTL audits. This will help to identify the interfaces between
Outsourced Audit Partner, In-house audit team and SSTL & its
strategic partners at various stages during the audits. All the
seventeen principles and five essential components of control
environment, risk assessment, control activities, information
communication and monitoring of COSO Internal Control
Integrated framework 2013 is considered while defining the
control objective to be audited.
The Company uses a state-of-the-art ERP system to record
data for accounting and management information purposes and
connects to different locations for efficient exchange of
information. In continuation of the Companys effort to create
customer-centric and process-based organization the function
of Business Transformation (BT) has been created. The objective
of the function is to align stake holders and operations for
deriving enhanced synergy, facilitate higher internal effectiveness

and collaborate with functional teams to drive Performance
improvement projects to support Organizations Business
objectives. In order to ensure standardization of processes
across circles and improve their operational effectiveness, an
online activity of best practices across various functions has
been created by BT. A snap shot of process recommendation
implemented and under implementation is published for
monitoring progress.
The Company has also set up a robust enterprise risk
management framework across the organization. This facilitates
identification, assessment, communication and management of
risk(s) in an effective manner. Currently, the enterprise risk
management department is in the process of identification and
quantification of functional risks based on approved policy.
Opportunities
Going forward in the financial year 2014-15, industry subscriber
and revenue growth is expected to be robust. While growth in
subscriber base is expected to be driven by underpenetrated B
& C circles and rural areas, pace of growth in data revenues is
expected to be much higher than voice growth. The Company is
well positioned to gain ground from data revenue growth given
its focus on data business, existing coverage & deployment of
Rev B technology, reliable service, product offerings and timeto-market advantages.
Lot of players in the industry increased tariff for voice services
and they are also cutting down on various benefits given to
consumers in order to increase realized RPM. This provides
unique opportunity for MTS India to provide competitive
tariff plans and increase voice revenue. Company is keeping
close watch on various developments on this front and
already focusing on strengthening voice business in order to
make best of any opportunity that exists in the near future for
the business.
Proliferation of low-cost smartphones is expected to further
fuel the demand for mobile data services.The company is already
focusing on smartphones segment and has launched attractive
devices and offerings in order to attract smartphone users.
Slow 3G network expansion by various operators and launch
of 4G and BWA services by only few players will allow SSTL to
strengthen its already strong position in data market in
operational circles. None of the 3G player has a pan-India
presence and 4G ecosystem is expected to take time to mature.
This situation offers a unique opportunity to sell data on
wholesale basis to other players in operational circles.
Risks and Threats
CDMA ecosystem in entry voice is deteriorating and can
potentially affect Companys voice business prospects in the
long term. Similar challenges exist in the smartphones business
as well; however, management is of the view that there would
be sufficient demand for EVDO smartphones globally. Also,
several global operators are investing in EVDO smartphones
which is a positive for the Company.
Launch of 4G data services and expansion of 3G services is
expected to further expand the overall data market which inturn will benefit the Company. However, it can also intensify
competition in the data market and may even trigger tariff wars
unlike previously seen in the voice market. Several 3G players
have already dropped data prices in order to push for the
adoption of 3G data service in India.
On the regulatory front, Companys ability to do business and
upgrade to future generations of technology depends on the
spectrum and license. There is still lack of clarity about future
roadmap for 800 MHz band and the further auction of spectrum
in this band. Also, there needs to be clarity on how government
will ensure whether further allocation of spectrum is contiguous
to earlier allocation.
The implementation of Companys projects would be materially
affected if debt facilities are not raised in a timely manner and/or
interest rates are raised significantly. Additionally, the Companys
business is dependent on key vendors to supply critical network
equipment and services. Any change in their ability to provide
equipment and/or services also presents a risk.
Finally, while the Company continues to perform and create
value for its customers, shareholders and employees, there is
execution risk involved if projects are not launched or
completed in time. Key risks lie around the Companys ability to
launch innovative products and devices, grow distribution
network especially in new markets and enhance MTS brand
value in the market.
Future Outlook
Indian wireless market continues to be one of the most attractive
markets in the world with VLR penetration of approximately63%
and 4.8 million active wireless subscriber addition per month
(approx.) in financial year 2013-14 (till Feb14). Going forward
growth for voice services will be driven by the underpenetrated
B & C circles and rural areas. In future, demand for mobile data
will grow significantly and Company is well positioned to get
higher shares of this incremental demand. Also, continuous drop
in smartphone prices is expected to result in higher penetration
of these devices which will increase demand for data on small
screen devices.
Number of players in the industry is likely to go down in medium
term. However, it depends on clarity on various M&A norms
from the regulator. Last year, footprint of several players in the
industry has reduced to fewer circles. Also, post finalization of
M&A norms, expectation is that it will pave the way for much
needed consolidation in the sector. New opportunities for
strengthening the market position can arise out of such an
environment.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by
the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Background
(a)
Corporate Information
Sistema Shyam TeleServices Limited (the Company or SSTL), was incorporated on 20 April 1995.During financial year 200708, Joint Stock Financial Corporation SISTEMA (SISTEMA) of Russia acquired the controlling stake in the Company and the
Company became subsidiary of SISTEMA. During 2010 - 11, the Company had allotted 547,312,918 equity shares on preferential
basis to The Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo) of Russian Federation. As at 31 March 2014,
SISTEMAs shareholding is 56.68% and continues to be the holding company of SSTL.
The Company had entered into a license agreement with OJSC Mobile Tele Systems, to use MTS brand in India. The Company
commenced commercial operations on 26 March 2009 under the MTS brand name.
(b)
Licence and Spectrum

The Company was awarded Basic Telephony Service License by Department of Telecommunications (the DoT) on 4 March
1998 for the Rajasthan service area. In accordance with the DoT guidelines on Unified Access (Basic and Cellular) Services
License (UAS) dated 11 November 2003, the Company migrated to the UAS with effect from 14 November 2003. Further, on
12 December 2007, DoT allotted GSM spectrum in Rajasthan Circle under the original terms of the UAS agreement.
On 25 January 2008, the Company acquired UAS for 21 telecom circles, thus becoming licensee to provide its services across
the country.
The Honble Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 2 February 2012 cancelled 21 licenses allotted to the Company in January
2008. The Company participated in Spectrum Auction conducted by DoT in March 2013 and won the Right to Use of
Spectrum in eight Telecom Circles of India namely Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Kolkata, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh (West)
and West Bengal for a period of 20 years at a bid price of Rs 36,395. The DoT has allowed set-off of the License Entry Fees
of Rs 16,263 paid by the Company in 2008 as upfront payment against the bid price and allowed the balance amount of Rs 20,132
to be paid in accordance with deferred payment plan opted by the Company as per terms and conditions of the auction.
On 3 October 2013 the DoT has issued Unified License - Access Services to the Company for eight telecom circles for
20 years. On 9 October 2013, the DoT has allotted the right to use spectrum in eight telecom circles for 20 years as per terms
of auction.
(c)
Scheme of arrangement
On 18 May 2006, the Honble High Court of Rajasthan had approved the Scheme of Arrangement between Shyam Telecom
Limited (STL), Shyam Telecom Manufacturing Limited (STML), SSTL and Shyam Basic Infrastructure Projects Private Limited
(SBIPL) (petitioner Companies) (hereinafter referred to as the Scheme).
As per the Scheme, on 26 October 2006, the Company had transferred the equity shares held in the Company by STL. Further
the Scheme envisaged SSTL to be listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange (the stock exchanges).
The Honble High Court of Rajasthan, vide its order dated 7 August 2008, ordered that the Company shall within a maximum
period of 18 months from the date of the order initiate the process of listing the shares representing the issued capital of the
Company by adopting such route as may be permissible in law and shall carry out such compliance as may be required in law
including that of offering a specified percentage of the shares to the Public, for subscribing thereto, through book building
process, in the manner provided for under SEBI (DIP) Guidelines, 2000 and upon such steps being taken, BSE may issue such
order that may be required in law and as may be necessary for securing the said listing.
In the Board of Directors meeting held in December 2009, the Company has formed an IPO and Listing Committee to review
the progress, accord necessary approvals, provide guidance and directions in the matter of the listing of equity shares of the
Company and to initiate such further steps pursuant to directions issued by the Honble High Court of Rajasthan on 7 August
2008 as may be necessary. Further, the Board of Directors in the meeting held on 11 March 2010, has approved the appointment
of agencies recommended by the management of the Company as first merchant bankers for IPO purposes.
On 2 February 2012, Honorable Supreme Court of India had ordered to cancel 21 licenses of the Company acquired in January
2008. On 5 March 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company had reviewed the regulatory and legal developments and issues
and its impact on the IPO and listing plan of the Company and decided to continuously monitor the situation and review the
matter as and when the regulatory environment on telecom licenses and spectrum is clear and stabilized. After the fresh
spectrum auction held in 11 March 2013, the Company has acquired the right to use spectrum for 8 telecom circles. Pursuant
to the acquisition of fresh Unified Licenses for the 8 circles, the Company is in the process of restructuring its business
operations across India. Though the Company had initiated process of listing but since the listing of the shares is also driven by
market forces and business conditions as well as procedural factors, the same may result in unavoidable delay(s) which is
beyond the control of the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these
estimates are based upon managements best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
(b)
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price
including taxes and duties (net of cenvat credit) and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its
intended use. Capital spares / standby equipment are capitalised as part of the respective main assets, to which they relate to.
Any expenditure on upgradation of existing assets resulting in increase in their capacity and the benefits expected there from
beyond its previously assessed standard of performance is capitalised. All expenditure including capital inventory are shown as
capital work-in-progress until the assets are ready for commercial use. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less
provisions for slow moving / obsolete items, if any.
In respect of accounting periods commencing on or after 7 December 2006 exchange differences arising on reporting of the
long term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the
period, or reported in the previous financial statements are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and are
depreciated over the balance life of the asset, if these monetary items pertain to the acquisition of a depreciable fixed asset.
Provision for slow moving and obsolescence related to capital work-in-progress is made based upon the ageing of the
capital assets and a periodic technical evaluation undertaken by the Company.
(c)
(i)
Depreciation

Intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits
attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the
separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at
cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Indefeasible right to use (IRU) is amortised on straight line basis over the period of the agreement.
Software, which is not an integral part of hardware, is treated as an intangible asset and is amortized over its useful economic
life of 5 years.

amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the pre-tax discount rate. After impairment, depreciation
is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.
A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the
carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation
if there was no impairment.

the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.

or deducted from the cost of the asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset.

The principal assumptions are discount rate and salary growth rate. The discount rate is generally based upon the market
yields available on Government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches the liabilities and the salary growth
rate takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis.
The expected rate of return on plan assets was based on the average long-term rate of return expected to prevail over
the next 15 to 20 years on the investments made by the LIC. This was based on the historical returns suitably adjusted for
movements in long-term government bond interest rates. The discount rate is based on the average yield on government
bonds of 20 years.

Deferred tax
During the year ended 31 March 2014, the Company has incurred book loss of Rs 20,728 (2013 - Rs 28,817), aggregating to
accumulated losses of Rs 131,536 (2013 - Rs 110,808), resulting into carry forward of tax losses. Though the management is
confident of generating profits in the future, in the absence of convincing evidence of virtual certainty, the Company has not
recognized any deferred tax assets resulting from the carried forward tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation. Further, no
deferred tax liabilities on account of temporary timing differences have been recognized as it would be set off against these
deferred tax assets.
Discontinuing operation:
The Company on 21 February 2013 closed telecom services in ten Telecom Circles namely Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,
Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, North East, Orissa and Punjab and on 11 March 2013 in three
telecom Circles namely Mumbai, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh (East) The closure of telecom services has been done in
consequence of the Order(s)/ judgment of Honorable Supreme Court of India of 2 February 2012 and 11 March 2013. The
Company is in the process of redeployment / disposal of assets and settlement of contractual obligation and liabilities of these
thirteen Telecom Circles.

The management believes that the outcome of these contingencies will be favorable and that a loss is not probable.
(a)
DoT demands
These primarily include disputed demands raised for contentious matters relating to computation of license fees and spectrum
charges on account of differences in the interpretation of definition of revenue as per Telecom License and alleged non
compliance of other licensing conditions.
(b)
Demand from operators

During financial year 2008-09, the Company received demands from telecom operator aggregating to Rs 190 on account of
revision of access charges for the period from June 2001 to May 2003. On 27 April 2005 Honble TDSAT has struck down the
unilateral revision in the rates of access charges by telecom operator. Telecom Operator has preferred an appeal in Honble
Supreme Court against the order of TDSAT. Considering that the final decision is pending with the Honble Supreme Court,
the Company has disclosed the amount under dispute of Rs 190 as contingent liability.
(c)
Demands for compensation

During the previous year ended 31 March 2013, certain passive infrastructure vendors (the Vendors) has raised demands for
compensation of Rs 612 due to premature termination of the respective contracts by the Company as a result of discontinuation
of operations in the thirteen telecom circles in pursuance of the Order issued by the Honble Supreme Court of India related
to cancellation of Companys Telecom Licenses (Also refer Note 1(b)). The Vendors have served notice in term of the dispute
resolution mechanism as defined in the contracts during the year. The Company, based on independent legal opinion, believes
such demands to be untenable, since the discontinuance of operations is a Force Majeure Act and not the act of the Company.
The Company had executed certain contracts (the contracts) with an equipment vendor (the vendor) for the supply of
network equipment and services for the turnkey implementation of the basic telephone service project in Rajasthan. Under the
contracts, the vendor was obliged to ensure a total financing solution for the project, including credit enhancement support
from the vendors sponsors As the vendor defaulted in its contractual obligations in providing a total financing solution for the
project, the vendor executed an agreement (the agreement) with the Shyam Group of Companies to subscribe to warrants
of the Group Companies aggregating 50 per cent of the value of supplies of equipment and services by the vendor to the
Company. Disputes have arisen between the Company and vendor with respect to fulfillment of obligations under the contracts
and the agreement. The Company and the vendor are in the process of resolving their differences. The management of the
Company believes that the default under the contracts and the agreement primarily lies on the part of the vendor and thus the
Company does not bear any liability under the same. The matter is under process for resolution with the Arbitral Tribunal /
Honble High Court.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the
accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
