3 ways Reliance Jio customers can avoid paying 6 paisa per minute IUC

Reliance Jio, last year, started charging 6 paisa per minute to its subscribers for making calls to another network beyond their FUP limits. Reports, late last year suggested that the IUC paid by the Jio subscribers could go down to zero when the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) would adopt the zero-IUC policy.

However, the regulatory body retained the IUC for another year. This means that telecom companies will have to continue paying the IUC for calls made from their network to other networks. Since Reliance Jio charges this amount from its subscriber, Jio users will continue paying these charges for another year or till the time TRAI doesn’t adopt a new policy.

For your understanding, telecom companies have to pay 6 paisa per minute to other telecom companies when a subscriber makes a call to other networks. Until October last year, this cost was paid by telecom companies.
