Gupta told ET that Jio needs to inform the sector regulator “within seven working days from the date of implementation of its new tariff”.
Jio on Thursday started charging for voice calls made to subscribers of other telcos to account for the termination charges it pays rivals, including Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a> Idea, a move that experts believe could end the fierce price wars plaguing the telecom industry f and boost telco revenues. “We will examine Jio’s new tariff plan once they submit it, and will intervene in the matter only if there are any compliance issues at all,” the Trai secretary said.
A source close to Jio said “the company will inform Trai about its tariff plan within seven days, as per the process”. At press-time, Jio did not reply to ET’s queries.
The IUC is a charge paid to the telco on whose network a call terminates and has been a bone of contention among private sector telcos and the sector regulator.
Two years ago, Trai had slashed it from 14 paise a minute to 6 paise a minute and decided to scrap the charge from January 2020.
