TRAI inquiry into Voda Idea’s RedX premium plan prima facie finding: TDSAT

Telecom Disputes Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) on Tuesday said that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s inquiry into Vodafone Idea’s RedX premium plan based on a complaint by Reliance Jio was a ‘prima facie’ finding and will not impact the ongoing enquiry into the matter.

The tribunal did not modify its order observing that the probe in the premium plan was prompted by a complaint by Reliance Jio.

The regulator had asked for changes to the the July 16 order of TDSAT, which said that TRAI probed the validity of the premium plan for high-paying postpaid customers due to a complaint filed by Reliance Jio on July 8.

However, on Tuesday, TDSAT said that the statement recorded based on prima facie finding will not affect the ongoing enquiry being conducted by TRAI.
