No special drive being undertaken to probe all past tariff plans: Trai

Telecom regulator Trai on Friday clarified the issue related to tariff plan verification, saying there is no special drive being undertaken by it to probe all the past tariff plans filed by telecom companies “except those specific plans under examination”.

On receipt of “specific complaints” of alleged predation by a few TSPs, the matter is under examination and “appropriate action as per regulatory provisions will be taken”, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said in a clarificatory note.

Trai said any tariff may be subjected to fresh examination as per the statutory mandate of the authority on receipt of a complaint of non-compliance to regulatory principles, including the allegation of predatory nature of tariff by any stakeholder, including telcos.
