In its late-July discussion paper, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>) had sought views on whether entry fees for telecom permits<\/a> must be cut and whether the performance and financial guarantees should be merged for all telecom permits.
The regulator had also sought views on whether a uniform entry fee must be levied for various service authorisations under a unified licence (UL) and a virtual network operator<\/a> (VNO) licence. It had also sought views on the methodology of computing a merged bank guarantee for various telecom permits and a checklist of associated financial\/performance parameters. The regulator also wanted suggestions on whether a merged BG should be applicable to both new entrants and existing licence-holders.
The telecom regulator<\/a> has now sought comments and counter-comments by September 6 and September 20, 2022, following requests from stakeholders for more time. It had originally demanded these submissions by August 23 and September 6.
Back in September 2021, the government had announced a comprehensive telecom relief package to revive the telecom industry<\/a>, and key proposals included a sharply reduced requirement of BGs.
