The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a consultation paper on ‘Validity period of tariff offers’, seeking inputs from stakeholders on whether to intervene in determining the validity period of telecom tariff offers or keep it under the forbearance regime.
The purpose of this consultation paper is to identify such tariff offers and explore the possibility of making tariff/vouchers offered by service providers and their validity issues sync with aspiration/requirements of consumers at large and if required, amend the regulatory framework to this extent.
According to the regulator, based on the feedback received from consumers through various channels, it is felt that certain tariffs/vouchers and their validity offered by TSPs are not to the satisfaction of large section of consumers.
In this regard, TRAI has invited comments and counter-comments till June 11, 2021 and June 25, 2021 respectively.
