@abhijit
as per communication ministry local should be @ 10 paisa/min.they just want the local call & std rate to be reduced as we all want.but this is NOT A RULE.but one thing for sure the call rate will surely be reduced in future due to heavy competition in indian market.so for now 30paisa/min.in future when new plan will be available then they can surely shift frm one operator to other or from one tariff plan to another.

@rahul
Deeply think one matter that local call @30 paise this is very good tariff but,for lifelong @30 paise is it really good? As per communication ministry all local call should be @ 10 paisa per minute this proposal is in the pipeline.If that rule is implement with immediate effect then what will be do that subscribers who have already joined for lifetime @ 30 paise per minute?
