The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has decided to levy interconnection usage charges (IUC) till January 1, 2021. Now the users will have to pay 6 paise per minute as interconnect charges till December 31, 2020. Earlier the free IUC resulted in more outgoing calls to a network than incoming ones. Jio has recently started taking charges but as of now Airtel and Vodafone had already earned a lot from consumers.
