How will the consumer be charged by the service provider in the new regime?

- MRPs (exclusive of applicable taxes) for the pay channel packs and a-la-carte channels which are opted by the consumers
- All applicable taxes
The service provider must also provide a detailed bill including the breakup of the above components.
