TRAI's new format for cable operators

The move comes following apex court's directive

GN Bureau | February 18, 2010



TRAI has issued a simplified version of the format in different Indian languages for submitting information by small cable operators regarding their operational and financial status required for the exercise of tariff issues. All cable operators who have less than 500 subscribers have been requested to fill up this format and submit the same to TRAI by post/fax/e-mail by 28th February 2010.

In pursuance of the supreme court order of May 13, 2009, TRAI has undertaken the exercise relating to tariff for cable TV services in non-CAS areas. On January 18, 2010, the court had directed that this exercise should be completed by June 30, 2010. Accordingly, TRAI had requested all the stakeholders to complete the submission of information about their financial and operational figures in the prescribed formats by February 15. The formats for submission of the information are available on TRAI website: http://www.trai.gov.in/BCSFormat.asp.
