TRAI Rules: 10 rupees recharge has 365 days validity; TRAI is bringing new rule soon

TRAI issued new rules for telecom users in December 2024. In which telecom companies were asked to bring affordable recharge plans for 2G users. Let us tell you that about 15 crore mobile users are using 2G in the country. They will get benefit from this.

New Delhi. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued new guidelines, which will benefit 150 million Indian smartphone users. These are the users who are using 2G services. Users who are dependent on basic mobile services like voice calls and SMS often face problems due to expensive recharge plans. They get unnecessary data in recharge, which they are not able to use.

In view of this, TRAI issued a new updated guideline on December 24, in which telecom companies will launch affordable plans following the new rules.

Recharge plans will start from Rs 10

As per the new rules, all telecom companies like Airtel, Jio, BSNL and Vodafone Idea (Vi) will have to offer top-up vouchers which will be available at a starting price of Rs 10. Apart from this, in a major update, TRAI has increased the validity of Special Tariff Voucher (STV) from 90 days to 365 days. This change ensures that users can now use long-term, cost-effective recharge options.

Telecom operators have been directed to create voice and SMS-only plans, which are specially designed for 2G feature phone users who do not require internet services.

At present, these users have to pay more for data plans. This is their compulsion, because telecom operators do not have any specific plan for only voice and SMS. Even though they do not require data, they have to take it, which they are not even able to use.

It is being said that TRAI’s guidelines have already been implemented and telecom companies have been given a few weeks to implement it. Although the official launch date has not been announced, affordable recharge plans are expected to hit the market by the end of January.
