Mumbai, [9
th October 2019]: Interconnect Usage Charge or IUC is a cost paid by one mobile
telecom operator to another, when its customers make outgoing mobile calls to the other
operator’s customers. These calls between two different networks are known as mobile off-
net calls. IUC charges are fixed by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and are
currently at 6 paise per minute.
TRAI, has repeatedly since 2011, affirmed its stance that the IUC charges should be brought.
down to Zero.
1) Affidavit dated 29th October 2011 of TRAI in the Hon’ble Supreme Court:
Quote:
“8.12 …. TRAI is of the opinion that there should be progressive reduction in
termination charges finally converging to zero termination charge … at the end
of 2 years from the present.”
(In 2011, TRAI stated its opinion that termination charge should be made zero by 2014.
It should be noted that at that time, neither 4G nor Jio existed.)
2) After a comprehensive review of the IUC regime through a transparent and elaborate
consultation process in 2016, TRAI issued the Telecommunication Interconnection
Usage Charges (Thirteenth Amendment) Regulations, 2017 (placed before the
Parliament of India) as follows:
“2. …..
“(a) Re. 0.06 (paise six only) per minute with effect from the 1st October, 2017 to
the 31st December, 2019; and
(b) 0 (Zero) with effect from the 1st January, 2020”….”
