Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea announce huge increase in their tariffs – BSNL should also increase it’s tariff to come out of the financial crisis.

Airtel and Vodafone Idea have increased their call charge and data charge upto 45%. Similarly, Jio has announced increase in it’s tariffs by 40%. The increase in tariffs announced by all the three private operators is certainly a huge one. Now, BSNL should also increase it’s tariffs to match with the private operators tariffs. This will help BSNL to come out of the crisis. It may be recollected that on many occasions in the past, BSNLEU has forecasted that tariffs will increase in the near future and thereby BSNL’s financial condition will also greatly improve.

 

At this juncture, BSNLEU wishes to inform all that, with the allotment of 4G spectrum and drastic increase in call and data charges, BSNL is likely to come out of it’s financial crisis soon. Hence, those employees who have opted for VRS, fearing about the future financial condition of BSNL, can very well withdraw their VRS options.
