TRAI Directs Telecom Operators to Prominently Display Mandatory Recharge Plans
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has directed telecom operators to prominently display mandatory recharge plans and special tariff vouchers (STVs) on their websites, mobile apps, and points of sale. This follows consumer complaints about the difficulty in locating these plans. Operators must create a clearly visible "TRAI-Mandated Packs" section as the first tab under prepaid recharge options and comply within 30 days. The move aims to enhance transparency and help consumers, especially those seeking voice and SMS-only plans without bundled data.
