The government has said that lifetime mobile connection plans offered by telecom companies are valid as long as operators are permitted to offer their services.
The service providers are also prohibited from changing tariffs to the disadvantage of the consumers during the entire validity period promised in the plan.
While replying to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Communications and IT Milind Deora has said that the service providers have been prescribing certain condition of minimum recharge/usage as part of the lifetime validity plans.
“The subscribers in such plans are entitled to enjoy incoming facility subject to fulfilment of the conditions specified in the tariff plans," Deora said.
"Any tariff plan presented, marketed as having liftime or unlimited validity in lieu of an upfront payment shall continue to be available to the subscriber for the duration of the period prescribed in the plan," Deora said.
