TRAI postpones implementation of new MNP rules

TRAI has postponed the implementation of the new mobile number portability (MNP) rules indefinitely due to technical issues at the telcos’ and MNP service providers’ end. Recently, TRAI had reduced the per port transaction charge by 66 per cent from Rs 19 to Rs 6.46, effective November 11, 2019. However, with the revision process getting deferred, the old porting fee of Rs 19 will continue to apply for now.
