TRAI Removes 100 Free SMS Per Day Cap for ‘Genuine Non-Commercial Users’

Jun. 6, 2020

In a statement, the telecom regulator said that the move will help strengthen the regime of tariff forbearance.“Schedule XIII of the Telecommunication Tariff Order 1999 made it obligatory for telecom service providers to charge a minimum of 50 paise per SMS for every SMS exceeding 100 SMSes per SIM per day.The deletion of Schedule XIII thus implies another step of Trai in doing away of the tariff regulation and strengthening the regime of tariff forbearance”, the agency said.
