"RJIL aspires to provide the experience of Jio Digital life to all Indians and to achieve this it will continue coming up with more consumer friendly offers and plans to enhance the consumer experience," the telco said in a statement issued late Thursday.
The country's telecommunications regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), had earlier said that Jio's revised offer of free services, limits the 90 days offer to December 3, 2016.
Jio said that it has received communication from the TRAI stating that the tariff plans offered by it are fully compliant with regulatory norms of IUC compliance, non-predatory and non-discriminatory.
"This clearly establishes the fact that all the tariffs offered by RJIL are in compliance with the prevailing regulations. A key feature of RJIL’s tariff packs is free voice calling for Local, STD and National roaming for all times," the telco said.
The regulator, in a letter to all GSM telcos, had said that Jio's revised offer of free services is now consistent with guidelines on promotional offers.
