Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document is the Telecommunication Tariff Sixty-Fourth Amendment Order, 2018, issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). It amends the Telecommunication Tariff Order of 1999, effective from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette, September 24, 2018. The amendment aims to remove redundant regulations and modify existing provisions related to telecommunication tariffs based on recommendations from a committee constituted for this purpose. Key Points / Main Content: General Amendments: * Sub-clauses ld and le are deleted from clause 2 of the Telecommunication Tariff Order, 1999. * The phrase "as specified in the relevant standard package" is removed from Clause 5. Terms and Conditions of Service: * Clause 11 is substituted to specify that tariffs relate to the quality of service parameters set by TRAI regulations, and service providers must convey terms and conditions to subscribers, consistent with TRAI's orders and regulations. Schedule I (Basic Services): * Item 9 concerning free calls for rural subscribers is modified regarding fixed-line telephony service. * Item 9a is deleted. Schedule II (Cellular Mobile Telecom Service): * Item 2, related to rental and airtime charges, is deleted. * Item 4 is substituted to specify activation charges, allowing a one-time charge only when a customer initially connects to the service provider's network. Deletion of Schedules: * Schedules III, VII, VIII, and XI are deleted. Security Deposit Clarification: * The ceiling on security deposits (not more than 12 months' rental) does not apply to International Roaming and ISD services. Impact Analysis: Service Providers: * Impact: Service providers need to implement the tariff changes and ensure compliance with the new regulations. They also need to remove certain charges and modify service offerings as specified in the amendment. * Action Required: Update billing systems, revise tariff plans, and communicate changes to subscribers. Subscribers: * Impact: Subscribers may see changes in billing, activation charges, and available tariff plans. Rural subscribers will have modifications to free call benefits. * Action Required: Review new tariff plans and understand any changes in service terms and billing practices. TRAI: * Impact: TRAI is responsible for enforcing the new amendment and ensuring service providers comply with the updated regulations. * Action Required: Monitor service provider compliance and address any disputes or issues arising from the implementation of the amendment.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (hereby referred to as the Authority) had constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Principal Advisor (NSL) to identify infructuous/ redundant regulations which could be purged. The Committee comprised of service providers and their associations as listed below: 1. ACTO 2. Aircel 3. AUSPI 4. Bharti Airtel Ltd. 5. BSNL 6. COAI 7. Idea 8. ISPAI 9. MTNL 10. Rcom 11. RJIL 12. Tata Communication Ltd. 13. Telenor 14. TTSL 15. Vodafone India Ltd. 2. Three separate sub-committees were also formed from amongst the members of the Committee to identify infructuous/ redundant regulations on (a) licensing, (b) QoS, and (c) tariff related issues. The sub-committee members from the industry had submitted written inputs which were considered, discussed and analysed in the meetings of¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 9 respective sub-committees. Based on such deliberations, the sub-committees had submitted their recommendations to the Chairperson of the Committee. 3. The recommendations regarding purging of regulations made by the three sub-committees were circulated to all the members of the Committee. The final meeting of the Committee was held on 28th December 2017. 4. After due deliberations, the Committee has submitted final recommendations. The recommendations of the Committee, interalia, include proposals to delete, merge, or modify various provisions of the Telecommunication Tariff Order (TTO). The final recommendations of the Committee on issues related to TTO are placed as Annexure to the TTO 64th Amendment. 5. Even though the issues covered in the TTO (64th) Amendment were in line with the deliberations and recommendations in various committee meetings, the Authority considered it appropriate to seek further views of stakeholders by releasing the draft TTO seeking comments of stakeholders vide Press Release dated 09.07.2018. 6. The last date to receive comments was 26.07.2018 and the last date to receive counter comments was 06.08.2018. Only two stakeholders namely Vodafone India Limited and COAI have submitted comments. 7. Both COAI and Vodafone India Limited were generally in agreement with the proposed provisions of 64th Amendment. However, they have invited attention of the Authority to several other suggestions on related issues such as: (i) Minimum tariff protection of six months should be changed to three months. (ii) Quarterly tariff compliance w.r.t bulk customers should be done away with/ or should be made a part of yearly TRAI compliances. (iii) Tariff Ceilings specified for National Roaming tariffs should be abolished and should be left to market forces. (iv) Publication of tariff information in national and vernacular language newspaper after every six months should be removed. (v) Flexibility to use the denomination of Rupees Ten and multiples thereof for STVs and Combo vouchers also in addition to Top up voucher. (vi) Processing fee on Top up voucher should be removed. (vii) M-bill or e-bill should be considered as default option for post-paid billing replacing of hard copy (viii) DLC tariff ceiling should be removed and let market forces to decide the tariffs. (ix) Floor price of 50p/Short Message Services (SMS) sent by persons other than a telemarketer registered under regulation 14 or an entity sending transactional message should be removed. 8. The Authority considered the comments provided by COAI and Vodafone and also closely looked at the deliberations made during several meetings of the committee and that of the sub-committee on tariff set up for purging infructuous regulations. It was found that the above issues were raised and deliberated upon during the meeting with members of the committee which, inter alia, included representatives from both COAI and Vodafone. Extracts from the final recommendations of the committee which is annexed to this TTO lists the decisions taken on various issues and the rationale thereof. The purpose of this TTO is basically to delete, modify or merge various infructuous provisions of TTO as per the recommendations of the committee. Other suggestions for reviewing any existing tariff ceiling, regulation or direction can be considered separately as recommended by the committee. 9. One specific suggestion made in the comments on the draft TTO 64th Amendment is to explicitly clarify that the ceiling on security deposit which is not more than 12 months rental should not be made applicable to International Roaming and ISD. The Authority is in agreement with this suggestion. It is hereby clarified that the ceiling on Security deposit mentioned in clause 5 of the principal tariff order will not be applicable for ISD and International Roaming Services. S.K.
