Under the new guidelines, a Jio subscriber calling somebody using an alternate service like Airtel or Vodafone-Idea will be charged 6 paise every minute till the time you keep ringing. The 6 paise every minute charge will be made through IUC top-up vouchers.

Jio says that it has been hit by the price differential of free voice calls on the Jio network and a high tariff on 2G networks on Airtel and Vodafone-Idea. Jio says it gets 25-30 crore missed calls daily by 2G clients, which results in 65-75 crore minutes of outgoing traffic as opposed to incoming traffic. TRAI cut down IUC charge from 14 paise to 6 paise every minute with an aim to scrap the charge from January 1, 2020. Because of the high tariff on 2G networks, Jio is presently the net payer of IUC while Airtel and Vodafone Idea are net income gainers, as per the reports.

 “So far, in the last three years Jio has paid nearly Rs 13,500 crore as net IUC charges to the other operators,” Jio said in the statement.

TRAI recently chose to look for perspectives on deferring zero IUC charge as there are as yet a huge number of 2G supporters who have not moved to VoLTE, so it appears to be impossible that the zero-IUC guideline will become effective at any point in the near future. Analysts state that Jio’s move will profit rivals Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, which has been draining financially for as far back as a couple of years because of the ultra-low tariff plans offered by Jio. Presently, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea may use this chance to hike voice call rates. The IUC Rates will be applied from TRAI moves to zero termination charge, which is supposed to happen from 31st December 2019.
