The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on 27th January 2022 has published the “Telecom Tariff (66th Amendment) Order, 2022” which shall come into force within 60 days from the date of its publication.
The Authority has decided to insert sub-clauses (xi) and (xii) in clause 6 of the Telecommunication Tariff Order, 1999, after subclause (x) which are as under:
(xi) Every Telecom Service Provider shall offer at least one Plan Voucher, one Special Tariff Voucher and one Combo Voucher having a validity of thirty days.
(xii) Every Telecom Service Provider shall offer at least one Plan Voucher, one Special Tariff Voucher and one Combo Voucher which shall be renewable on the same date of every month.
With the enactment of the amendment, telecom consumers will have more options to choose service offerings of appropriate validity and duration. This would also facilitate consumers in making a more informed tariff-related choice.
