Where is it saying a subscriber can pick & chose what he wants in the 100 FTA channel pack of Rs 130?You can find it here: Page 11, Clause 7
https://www.trai.gov.in/sites/default/files/Tariff_Order_English_3 March_2017.pdf
"Within the distribution network capacity subscribed, in addition to channels notified by Central Government to be mandatorily provided to all the subscribers, a subscriber shall be free to choose any free-to-air channel(s), pay channel(s), or bouquet(s) of channels offered by the broadcaster(s) or bouquet(s) of channels offered by distributors of television channels or a combination thereof:
Provided that if a subscriber opts for pay channels or bouquet of pay channels, he shall be liable to pay an amount equal to sum of distributor retail price(s) for such channel(s) and bouquets in addition to network capacity fee."
If a subscriber opts for pay / bouquet of pay channels, he is liable to pay for such channels along with the network capacity fee.
Rs 130 is like your olden days telephone rental. Whether you use it or not, you pay the rent (minimum rental for 100FTA channels given by your operator). If you make any calls (i.e., add additional FTA channels {local call - less charge/network fee only} or Paid channels {STD - higher charge / broadcaster fee + network fee} ), you pay for it additionally!
