Trai begins review of transaction charges involved in telecom network port-outs

New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Friday began a review of transaction charges involved in network port-outs, in the backdrop of the recent revamp of the mobile number portability (MNP) rules and processes.

The regulator, through a consultation paper, has sought stakeholders’ views on whether the ‘per port transaction charges’, currently pegged at up to Rs 4, should continue to be computed as per the existing methodology or be moved to a new methodology.
