She not added a single world about replace channels in 100 or 150 channels

NCF - Network Capacity Fee

Videocon dth website mentions:

• ₹ 130 for first 75 pay channels + 25 mandatory Doordarshan channels
• Additional NCF of ₹ 20 for every block of 25 pay channels
• In case any subscriber wants to avail only FTA channels, the NCF will be ₹ 130
• 1 HD channel = 2 SD channels

Thus it means, minimum NCF is ₹ 130 + 18% GST = ₹ 153.4
All FTA (Free to Air) Channels do not have additional NCF.
All Bouquets do not have additional NCF.
Only ala-carte pay channels have additional NCF.
There are 536 FTA Channels. So one can add all these 536 channels & pay ₹ 153.4 as NCF.
This ₹ 153.4 NCF includes 75 pay channels + 25 mandatory Doordarshan channels.

If one chooses only Bouquets + all FTA Channels, then only ₹ 153.4 NCF charges are applicable.
If one chooses additional 75 SD channels (considering 1 HD as 2 SD channels here) as ala-carte then also NCF remains at ₹ 153.4.

Considering that most will go for bouquets + FTA + few Pay channels, practically NCF remains ₹ 153.4.

P.S. NOTE THAT THESE ARE INFERRED FROM CURRENT AVAILABLE INFO. THERE MIGHT BE CORRECTION REQUIRED IF INFO GETS UPDATED.
