1999年改变电信秩序,火车周四说,“每一个电信服务提供者应当提供凭证至少有一个计划,一个特别关税凭证和一个组合代金券有效期30天。”
新德里:印度电信管理部门(火车)已授权电信公司至少有一个关税计划允许充电30天的有效性,偏离其长期存在的政策忍耐的关税。
1999年改变电信秩序,火车周四说,“每一个电信服务提供者应当提供凭证至少有一个计划,一个特别关税凭证和一个组合代金券有效期30天。”
监管机构解释说,此举是消费者友好修正案解释说,电信用户将会有更多的选项来选择合适服务的有效性和持续时间。这也促进消费者作出更明智的tariff-related选择。
火车已经提出咨询报告在去年5月,要求所有利益相关者是否应该介入此事。监管机构曾表示,已经收到很多投诉包括的消费者表示他们正在做13充电一年每月计划,从而使他们有上当受骗的感觉。
详细的反应电信公司和其他利益相关者,监管机构说,“…涉众的观点显然是分裂与服务提供者重申他们的偏好现在忍耐政权的延续关于有效期的关税提供“。
另一方面,它说,消费者团体、咨询机构和个人客户认为,除了要求关税提供30天,每月关税提供每个月充电在同一日期也应提供。
电信公司都反对这项提案提出的监管机构在不同的理由。
沃达丰的想法说了任何改变现有28天或54天或者84天会打乱了账单周期,消费者意识和零售渠道,需要巨大的努力教育操作员。依赖Jio Infocomm,同意30天充电,曾经说过,“关税在同一天充电所需的客户每个月相同的定额在技术层面上是不可能的,这主要是一个邮资已付的结构。”
附近的旅馆然而曾认为,很大一部分预付客户属于一个低收入组。因此,合理的28天充电说,“一个28天有效性对于这样一个社会意味着他们预算的部分使用每周帮助管理他们的移动费用在一个更好的和有组织的方式。”
进一步接着说,强制关税提供与特定的有效性与关税要求30天或一个月,每个月只能在同一日期更新,可能不是任何价值除了预付客户的偏好也许不会改变充电等引入一次性提供。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>) has mandated telcos<\/a> to have at least one tariff<\/a> plan which allows a recharge validity of 30 days, in a departure from its longstanding policy<\/a> of forbearance on tariffs.
In a change to the telecommunication order of 1999, Trai on Thursday said that, \u201cEvery telecom service provider shall offer at least one plan voucher, one special tariff voucher and one combo voucher having a validity of thirty days.\u201d
<\/div><\/div>The clause added further said that every service provider shall also offer at least one plan voucher, one special tariff voucher and one combo voucher which shall be renewable on the same date of every month.
The regulator has explained the move to be consumer friendly and explained that with the amendment, telecom subscribers will have more options to choose service offerings of appropriate validity and duration. This would also facilitate consumers in making a more informed tariff-related choice.
Trai had floated a consultation paper in May last year, asking all stakeholders whether it should intervene in the matter. The regulator had said it has received numerous complaints including ones where consumers said they were being made to do 13 recharges in a year for monthly plans, thus making them feel cheated.
Detailing the responses of the telcos and other stakeholders, the regulator said, \u201c\u2026the views of the stakeholders are clearly divided with service providers reiterating their preference for the continuance of present forbearance regime with regard to validity period of tariff offers\u201d.
On the other hand, it said, consumer advocacy groups, consultancy organizations and individual customers were of the view that in addition to mandating 30 days tariff offering, a monthly tariff offering rechargeable on the same date of each month should also be provided for.

<\/div><\/div>The regulator has made a case for the same while citing international operators. It has said Vodafone in the UK and Verizon in the US have monthly prepaid plans regardless of how many days there are in a month. \u201cSince availability of prepaid tariffs rechargeable on the same date of every month is in vogue internationally, there is no reason why such a facility should not be made available to Indian telecom consumers as well,\u201d Trai said.
The telcos had opposed the proposal floated by the regulator on different grounds.
Vodafone Idea<\/a> had said any change to the existing 28 days or 54 days or 84 days would upset the billing cycle, and need gigantic efforts towards consumer awareness and retail channel education at the operator\u2019s end. Reliance Jio Infocomm, while agreeing to a 30 day recharge, had said, \u201ctariffs wherein the customer is required to recharge on the same day every month with the same fixed amount is not technically possible, as this is primarily a postpaid structure.\u201d
Airtel<\/a> however had argued that a large percentage of prepaid customers belong to a very low-income group. Thus, it justified the 28-day recharge saying, \u201cA 28 days validity for such a section of society means they budget their usage on a weekly basis which helps in managing their mobile expenses in a better and organized way.\u201d
It further went on to say that mandating a tariff offer with a specific validity of 30 days or a month with requirement of tariff to be renewed only on the same date of each month, may not be of any value addition to a prepaid customer whose recharge preferences may not change by introduction of such one-off offering.
