No, you will get the same pack for 1 year if you recharge before any change. You will have to change your pack after 1 year.

There will be changes made in ur pack when New RIO of concerned broadcasters gets implemented. They will simply replace the broadcaster bouquet part of ur DPO pack with new equivalent broadcasters bouquet hence u may get less or more channels depending on that

NTO 1.0 had discount capping of 33% on bouquet pricing,

NTO 1.0 had no capping on bouquet discount. That's exactly the reason NTO 2.0 was brought in the first place.

You are wrong Siva Bro. NTO 1.0 had capping of bouquet discount which stood at 33%. You can read the below article or even read the old rules on TRAI website

TRAI NTO 2.0 amendment: A much-needed respite finally, say experts

www.adgully.com

NTO 2.0 was mainly brought in by Ex Chairman of TRAI bcoz broadcasters were keeping key channels A-La-Carte rates high and combining many low+high rates channel in bouquet and thereby giving these bouquet at highly discounted price.. As the twin condition of "A-La-Carte Price of channel included in bouquet should not be more than two and half times the average price of channels which r included in a bouquet" was struck down by honorable court so more low priced channels were combined with high priced channels in bouquet thus not only customers were being pushed with unnecessary channels but as a result standalone prices of certain key channels remained to be extremely high.
Here are the details of the twin conditions which were brought through amendments in NTO 2.0 but 2nd part of struck down by honorable court

Trai sets new rules on à la carte channel prices, network capacity fee

The new tariff order was expected to make channels cheaper for the consumer and offer choice.Broadcasters are required to publish revised MRP of a-la-carte channels and bouquets on their website by 15 January, 2020

Standalone price cap of Rs. 12 was bought in with the intention of lowering A-La-Carte of these keys channels and avoid exploitation of the earlier price capping of Rs. 19

Telecom regulator TRAI Friday said some broadcasters are exploiting the freedom available for a-la-carte pricing of TV channels and warned that it will keep a "strict watch" on them and not shy away from taking action in the "larger interest" of consumers and the sector.

I so miss Mr RN Sharma, Ex Chairman of TRAI as he stood by what was in interest of consumers and took on broadcasters who were trying to just make NTO Rules look consumer unfriendly by hiking prices thereby looking for ways to get amendments to it. Now NTO 2.O rules r again not good for consumers as again we r being pushed to opt for bouquet

Just to be clear 45% discount capping applies on bouquet vis a vis sum of price of all a-la-carte channels included in that bouquet. Apart from this there is 35% ceiling on share/incentive which operators will get from pricing of bouquet / channels subscribers by customers
