You all should mail to TRAI with the screenshots. It's against the new tarrif. TRAI says to keep a lock-in period of only one day.

In Andhra pradesh, AP fiber has 15 days lock in period for every pay channel

Wrong bro.30 days option has to be mandatoraly provided rest upto DPO. They can provide any period of lock-in period but 1 month option is must.

My bad. I thought that all bouquets & Ala-Carte channels are on DBR basis with one day lock-in period.
Thanks for the correct information.

On 31st January, 2019 Trai released a press notice--

Subscribers may note that the new regime empowers them to change their choices whenever they desire with maximum lock-in period of one month. The Subscribers can always request their DPOs to modify their selection even after choosing any package at present.

I am confusing in last 2 lines...
**First it is telling that maximum lock in period is one month.
*In the next line- it is saying that- customer can modify always their request to DPO, even after choose his package.

***anybody can thinks that "always" means- "anytime"

**First it is telling that maximum lock in period is one month.

TRAI only set Maximum Lock-in-period as 30days. DPOs are free to set anywhere between 0 - 30 days.
Ex. Airtel lock-in-period is 0days,Tatasky, SunDirect is 1day

*In the next line- it is saying that- customer can modify always their request to DPO, even after choose his package.

Once, Lock-in-period Set by DPO is passed Customer can modify the basepack anytime.

Lock-in-period Set by DPO is passed Customer can modify the basepack anytime.

*it is not written that after lock in period passed, its written after choose,
*its may be said that- after I choose the package-I can modify it always/ anytime.

I m so surprised why dishtv set only 7 days lockin period, why not 30 days...??
Definitely it is a bug....
