For the nation's more than 1.2 billion mobile customers, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of india (TRAI) has issued several new regulations. These include, among other things, a 365-day validity period, a ₹10 recharge plan, and voice-only plans that are required for consumers with two SIM cards.
National Desk: By the Telecom Consumers Protection Regulations' 12th amendment, TRAI has proposed several important rulings. The second week of january is when these reforms, which are intended to improve consumer welfare, are anticipated to go into effect.
Key Highlights of TRAI's New Rules:
• Special Tariff Voucher (STV) for Feature phone Users
• TRAI has made it mandatory to offer specific STVs exclusively for 2G feature phone users for voice and SMS services. This move will benefit rural populations, senior citizens, and others who primarily rely on voice and SMS services.
365-Day Validity
• The validity of STV vouchers has been increased to 365 days (1 year) from the earlier 90 days. This means users can now enjoy long-term validity plans, reducing the need for frequent recharges.
End of Color Coding
• Considering the growing popularity of online recharges, TRAI has decided to remove the color-coding of physical vouchers. Now, there will be no need for separate color codes for different recharge categories.
₹10 Top-Up Voucher Update
• While retaining the mandatory ₹10 top-up voucher, TRAI has allowed telecom companies to introduce other denominations. This enables telecom operators to offer a wider range of top-up options.
