Breaking Prepaid mobile users to get lower talk value under GST regime: ICRA

[rahul1117kumar]

Goods and Services Tax (GST ) will have a marginally negative impact on
telecom sector and would shrink talk value for prepaid mobile subscribers, according to a credit reating agency ICRA .

The telecom services will become costlier with the increase in tax rate from 15% to 18% and will lead to lesser talktime on fixed denomination packs for prepaid users which
account for almost 95% of total user base in India, the Gurgaon-based firm Thursday said.
