The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has announced that the provisions of the tariff amendment order 2020 are to come into effect from 1 March 2020 and several preparatory activities are to be carried out by service providers in a time-bound manner.
TRAI said that this is to ensure that sufficient time is actually available to the consumers to exercise their choice of channels and bouquets before 1 March 2020. Therefore, all service providers concerned may take suitable steps to ensure that the consumers have enough time to make their choices of channels so that the smooth transition takes place on 1 March 2020.
The regulator also mentioned in the official statement that all pay broadcasters were required to report to TRAI, and simultaneously publish on their website, any change in (a) retail prices, per month, of channels and bouquets; and (b) composition of bouquets by January 15th, 2020.
Likewise, all DPOs were required to report to TRAI, and simultaneously publish on their website, any change in (a) network capacity fee; (b) distributor retail prices of pay channels; (c) composition of bouquets of pay channels; (d) composition of bouquets of free-to-air channels; (e) network capacity fee for additional connection beyond first connection in multi TV homes; and (f) network capacity fee for long term subscriptions, as the case may be, by January 30th, 2020.
