I am Recharging via main balance from 2 years.Its the same all time.

Why bro even before implementing IUC? What is the purpose of doing it? If I want to activate 399 plan then I have to spend near Rs.500 to get adequate amount in the main balance.

Because they offered full talktime on plans. It was better than queueing plans.

New plans are not out yet.

Most likely tomorrow. Doesn't make sense to launch on non business days.

Nice.
airtel.in/press-release is a very nice page to keep a track on all their updates, including gradual shut-down of 3G networks across circles. The media release on hiking tariff mentions "beginning December" - which means it may not happen altogether in December alone.

Also, I think the TRAI consultation paper on review of IUC was released as late as 8-Nov-2019. I don't think any decision would have been reached by now. Also, the telcos would have to mutually agree on proposed changes, amendments in IUC etc.

Excerpt from the consultation paper: Stakeholders are requested to furnish their written comments by 09.12.2019 and counter-comments by 23.12.2019 to the Advisor (Broadband and Policy Analysis), TRAI.

I have a feeling the tariff would NOT be hiked until we see a media/press release from TRAI regarding outcome of the consultation paper.
