We just wanted to summarize few important points w.r.t. new rules, so that people don't need to go and search deep inside the running threads. Making this thread sticky.

Tariff Order:

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

Few suggestions to select packages as per TRAI new rules:

1. Select absolutely necessary channels possibly on al-a-carte basis.

2. Avoid going for costly bouquets from Star, Sun and Zee.

3. Subscribe to cheaper bouquets from Turner, Times and Discovery.

4. Avoid subscribing service provider curated packages.

5. Customers whth multi-tv should choose channels wisely, as each conncetion is now treated as separate.

6. 1 HD channels consumes 2 counts of NCF slots. So, choose the HD channels wisely. Else you will end up paying for additional NCF slabs.

7. Use the TRAI tool to know your estimated monthly charges in the new regime per your selection. Use the optimize button to see if there is any price reduction Link for the tool below.

8. Try selecting FTA channels as alternatives to high priced pay channels.
