TRAI releases consultation paper on validity period of tariff offers

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a consultation paper on the “Validity Period of Tariff Offers”, seeking inputs from stakeholders on whether to intervene in determining the validity period of telecom tariff offers or to keep them under the forbearance regime. The purpose of the consultation paper is to identify tariff offers, explore the possibility of synchronising them with the aspirations/requirements of consumers and, if required, amend the regulatory framework to this extent. TRAI has invited comments and counter-comments on the paper by June 11, 2021 and June 25, 2021 respectively.
