MUMBAI:After having invited comments from stakeholders
regarding the imposition of tariff
on commercial subscribers, the
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has come out with the
amendment to the Telecommunication (Broadcasting
and Cable) Services (Second) Tariff Order, 2004 (6 of
2004).
The twelfth amendment will come into effect
from the date of its publication in the official
gazette.
Going with the 24 responses to the earlier
consultation pepper, there is no distinction
between an ordinary and a commercial
subscriber. The definition of a ‘commercial
establishment’ (CE) has been included and
‘commercial subscriber’ (CS) has been
amended.
Accordingly, the new definition of a CE is “any
premises wherein any trade, business or any
work in connection with, or incidental or
ancillary thereto, is carried on and includes a
society registered under the Societies
Registration Act, 1860 (21 of 1860), and
charitable or other trust, whether registered or
not, which carries on any business, trade or
work in connection with, or incidental or
ancillary thereto, journalistic, printing and
publishing establishments, educational,
healthcare or other institutions run for
private gain, theatres, cinemas, restaurants,
eating houses, pubs, bars, residential hotels,
malls, airport lounges, clubs or other places of
public amusements or entertainment”. http://www.indiantelevision.com/regulators/trai/trai-amends-tariff-order-for-commercial-subscribers-140716
