The Ministry of Communication on 30th December 2021 has notified the Licensing framework for Audio Conferencing/ Audiotex/ Voice Mail Services under Unified License”. The license is being made part of “Unified Licence” by adding a new Chapter for the authorisation titled “Audio-conferencing/ Audiotex/ Voice Mail Service”.
However, the migration from existing license to Unified license will be optional for existing licensees holding VMS/ Audiotex/ UMS license.
Further, the licence fees of the new licensees and existing licensees will be 8% of AGR, which is at par with other licensees of UL.
As per the ministry, the dial out facilities will be allowed even if using resources of more than one access service provider subject to license conditions.
