Discussion TRAI announced important changes in the Tariff Order

[Abhinav]

NCF is less than 60rs in SUN DIRECT's ALL Channels of 3 languages pack!

after march let's see if other DPO follow it or not 'cause TRAI has given freedom to charge less NCF.

Currently also DPOs are allowed to give discount on NCF, if they want they can reduce NCF even before March

I know that 160 (excluding GST) is the MAXIMUM NCF a DPO can charge, but has TRAI set any limit on NCF discount? I mean how LOW NCF a DPO can charge?

They will offer ncf discounts only on their curated pack. Not if you take only bouquet and ala carte. My siti also doing the same...

One more thing is. Higher value curated pack = Higher discount on ncf. that's all dpo will follow.

NCF can be as low as zero. All depends on DPO.

I have a doubt. How the NCF is being shared currently among broadcaster, DPO, govt etc?

then this is GREAT for people who like to watch all popular & non-popular channels!
but I want to know if a DPO make their NCF for curated packs just 40rs or less, will be that an issue?!

before NTO 2017 we had to take DPO's curated packs only. btw, in Sun you can take any add-ons/bouquets/a-la-carte with their DPO packs without extra NCF (as of now, don't know what will happen after march..

the amount DPO charges for NCF per subscriber, 18% of that goes to Govt.

That won't be issue, TRAI has not set lower limit on NCF, it can be anything below the ceiling price.

If ncf is low govt may loose tax. So may be trai insist more ncf

Cable digitalization (analog to digital cable stb) itself implemented only to get more tax
