The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has today issued Draft “The Telecommunication Mobile Number Portability Per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge (Amendment) Regulations, 2017”.

TRAI notified “The Telecommunication Mobile Number Portability Per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge Regulations, 2009 (9 of 2009)” on 20th November, 2009. As per the principal regulation, TRAI has fixed Rs. 19/- as 'Per Port Transaction Charge' and through notification of the Telecommunication Tariff Order (Forty-Ninth Amendment) Order, 2009 dated 20th November 2009, the Authority prescribed the Per Port Transaction charge Rs. 19/- as ceiling. As per Regulation 6(2) of the Telecommunications Mobile Number Portability per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge Regulations 2009, the Authority may review and modify the Per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge. Considering the upsurge in the volume of porting requests w.e.f. 3rd July, 2015 (when pan India Mobile Number Portability was permitted) and the financial results of both the Mobile Number Portability Service Providers (MNPSPs) for the last two available years, the Authority is of the view that the present ceiling of Rs. 19/- is quite high as compared to cost and volumes of transaction involved. The Authority has, therefore, decided that the upper ceiling for per port transaction charge may be reduced as the costs of operations of MNPSPs have substantially gone down.

Hence, Draft “The Telecommunication Mobile Number Portability Per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge (Amendment) Regulations, 2017” for consultation is available here. Written comments on the issues raised in the consultation are invited from the stakeholders by 29th December, 2017.

Number portability is good option to choose our network provider. But the big corporates are announcing lucrative plan to pull customers. So there is chance for people to change their network often. Hence I personally feel, the charge should not be removed at this moment until the sector is stabilized. The amount charged can be used for growth of India.

Hon. PM has great vision and effort to develop our nation quickly, further, development should be reached to each and every corner of our nation either rural or urban areas, I want to suggest that, the scheme of SANSAD GRAM DATTAK YOJANA was very good idea , it requires review of such yojana and all the Sansak should asked to complete the work as early as possible to develop atleast 5 grams in five years, it requires management,while people of grams will also contribute much, best wishes

Most of the telecom companies are charging Rs. 60 to 100 per port with a new SIM 4G which is much higher, Definitely the gov. should interfere and reduce its rates to normal customer From my point of view it should Rs. 10 to 15 Rs. 10 most preferably.

#TRAI, #DoT It should be kept in mind companies like- airtel, bsnl, jio create lot of hassles when portability is done. Also call drop and connectivity losses in rural areas to be kept in mind while doing amendments.
