In order to promote ease of doing business, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has allowed telecom firms to re-deploy or shift their wireless equipment from one service area to another, by giving an intimation to its Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) wing, while a formal approval would not be required.
In a recent notification, the DoT stated that telecom operators can inform the WPC wing online through the Saral Sanchar portal. The DoT also added that till the time the online facility is made available, telecom operators can submit the details of shifting through e-mail. However, the telcos will have to provide an undertaking that these details will be updated regularly, as and when the online service is made available by the DoT.
