A while back, Tata Sky had introduced lock-in period on its channel packs, thus forcing the subscribers to subscribe to these bouquets for at least a month. This meant that if a Tata Sky subscriber wanted to drop these channel packs from their subscription, then they wouldn’t be able to do it before the lock-in period is complete. However, Tata Sky soon realised the implication of this move and decided to go back on its decision on removing the lock-in period from its channel packs. Now subscribers will be freely able to add and remove channel packs and channels from their Tata Sky subscription.

Tata Sky Lock-in Period Only for Tata Sky Services
As per this new information, which we also personally verified, Tata Sky has officially removed the lock-in period on all of its channels and channel packs. Even in A-la-carte channels, the subscribers would be freely able to add and drop channels without worrying about the lock-in period. Similarly, the curated packs, add-ons, broadcaster packs will not come with any lock-in period. But, it is also worth noting that Tata Sky has said that the one day lock-in period policy will remain in place for Tata Sky Services like Tata Sky Fitness and others.
We verified the news and found that the lock-in period won’t be levied on any channel or channel packs except the Tata Sky Services, where Tata Sky Bollywood will come with 30-days lock-in period whereas other Tata Sky services will come with a single day lock-in period. With this new policy in place, users can be sure that they won’t be billed for a channel in case they subscribe to it for a day and then remove it from their subscription.
