<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> Landline<\/a> and postpaid<\/a> mobile users will continue to receive printed hard copies of phone bills for free with the telecom regulator saying an electronic or `e-bill’ cannot be a default option as it would be an anti-consumer move.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (
Trai<\/a>) said “time is still not ripe for making an e-bill<\/a> a default option, given the demographic structure of India, its literacy rate, the size of its non-e-literate population, the limitation of senior citizens and disadvantaged groups and the country’s rural population”.

But the sector regulator said telcos can switch to an e-bill only after obtaining “an explicit consent” from the consumer. “If a customer opts for receipt of the bill through e-mail instead of a hard copy, the service provider can supply the same after obtaining explicit consent,” Trai said in a media statement Monday.

The regulator said it “would be unfair” to thrust an e-bill as a default option on unwilling subscribers, especially those without internet access or incapable of making an informed choice between a printed and an electronic bill.

Last November, Trai had received representations from industry associations, MPs, MLAs and prominent citizens to review an extant provision of sending printed phone bills for free to postpaid mobile and landline customers amid changing mobile usage patterns amid surging data usage coupled with environmental issues relating to the cutting of trees for paper used in printing phone bills.

Telcos had cited “environmental concerns regarding cutting of trees for paper and a boost towards a Digital India mission” as reasons for an early migration to e-bills. They had also complained that the cost of printing bills was moving up.

However, the sector regulator said a section of representatives had dismissed the “environmental concerns argument,” contending that “75% of the paper produced in India is from waste\/recycled sources or agricultural residue as the primary raw material” that contributes towards protecting the environment.

Nearly a decade back, Trai had mandated telcos to provide a free hard copy of phone bills to postpaid users through its Telecommunication Tariff (46th Amendment) Order, 2008.

固定电话邮资已付的移动用户将继续接收打印免费电话账单的复印件电信监管机构说电子或者“e-bill”不能默认选项,因为它将是一个反消费行动。

印度电信管理部门(火车)说:“时机还不成熟了e-bill默认选项,考虑到印度的人口结构,它的识字率,non-e-literate人口的规模,老年人和弱势群体的限制,中国的农村人口”。

但银行业监管机构表示,电信运营商可以切换到一个e-bill之后才获得“一个明确的同意”的消费者。“如果一个客户选择收到账单通过电子邮件而不是硬拷贝,服务提供者可以提供相同的获取明确的同意后,“火车周一在一个媒体声明中说。
