By subscribers, it depends upon number of channels selection.

You will get the right to decide what channels you want in the 130 rupees pack apart from DD channels which are mandatory. If you choose pay channels (al-a-carte or bouquets) in the 130 pack, you need to pay separately.

You decide what channels you want. 25 Doordarshan channels are mandatory. Now you are left with 75 channels, right? Choose anything you want. FTA or Pay. If you can decide on 75 channels, fine. If the number of channels exceed 100(25+75),you have to pay extra NCF(monthly rental). Maybe 20₹extra. AND if the number of channels you choose are LESS than 100,then Airtel can provide a discount on the monthly rental.

See for yourself how much it would cost if you choose the channels individually. NOTE: 1HD channel = 2 SD channel. So if you choose 17 HD channels, then the total number of channels will be 34. (The cost is for one channel only)

I cant understand that what is the actual meaning of MRP- its maximum retail price, we all know that- its include GST, why trai try to be extra smart upon this matter, and saying that mrp is excluding tax?
NCF again excluded tax!!!
No doubt now we have to pay near rs 400-500 to watch tv now

568 for 54 channels. That's what it will cost me now. Bouquets are more expensive
