BSNL had recently revamped its landline tariffs, mainly to raise your telephone bills. Some new changes are as follows, I hope, you will find at least one reason of your bill rise.
In the General Plan of FMC Rs 110 for rural areas, BSNL have revised free 75 calls (on any network) to 50 (on BSNL network) + 25 (Other network). For urban customer who pays FMC of Rs 140 and was getting 50 calls free now is allowed to make 25 free calls on BSNL On-net and 25 free calls on Off-net.
If you just want landline connections for incoming calls/broadband connection, you have to go for Sulabh Plan for which BSNL has already hiked the tariff from Rs 75 to Rs 90 in rural areas and from Rs 120 to Rs 140 in Urban areas effective from 1 December, 2013.
BSNL have also hiked the call rates by reducing pulse rate for all subscribers across the country. The pulse rate which was 180 sec have been revised 120 sec effective from 1-12-2013 as per following exclusive screenshot.
So don’t be got shocked if you see your BSNL Landline bills in new year…..
