In an industry-first move, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will provide six paise for every five minutes of voice calls consumed by the users. While Reliance Jio started charging six paise per minute for outgoing calls to other networks, this move from BSNL will attract a lot of users of the Mukesh Ambani-owned telco who’re looking to join the network. According to the information available, BSNL will credit six paise as cashback for its wireline, broadband and FTTH customers consuming five minutes of voice calling. This is surely a great move from the government-owned PSU and it comes at a time when it matters the most. The government has recently announced a revival package for both BSNL and MTNL, and the former is making sure to stay ahead of the private telcos.

BSNL Subscribers to Get Paid for Voice Calls Going Forward
The Indian telecom sector is witnessing some major changes now after being in the crisis for closely three years. Ever since Reliance Jio announced its LTE-only services to the customers, incumbent telcos struggled to the fullest. But Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are now looking to counterattack Reliance Jio as the telco is in the backfoot due to the introduction of six paise per minute outgoing call charges.
Incumbent telcos have trolled Reliance Jio enough on social media, but BSNL is doing more than that. BSNL customers will now get paid in return for making voice calls. In a press statement, BSNL confirmed that it would credit six paise in the customer’s account for every five minutes of voice calls consumed. All the BSNL wireline, broadband and FTTH customers are eligible to receive cashback from the company.
