Even though a few months have passed since the implementation of the new tariff regime, we are getting to see the ripples of the new Trai tariff regime in the Industry. After the telecom regulator had allowed the long-term packs in the industry, Tata Sky and many other operators brought back these offers for the subscribers. Currently, the popular DTH provider Tata Sky is offering the Annual Flexi plan for the consumers where they can enjoy an extra month of subscription when they pay for 11 months. In a related development, there has been a new stay order from the Delhi High Court which overrides the previous order of the telecom regulator to allow the DTH operators to start retailing long term packs.

Tata Sky Flexi Annual Plan Details
Under the Tata Sky Flexi Annual Plan, the subscribers will have to maintain a balance of 12 times the monthly recharge value in his or her Tata Sky account to be eligible for the scheme. For example, if your monthly recharge value is Rs 200, then you would have to maintain a minimum recharge value of Rs 2,400 on your Tata Sky account to be eligible for the benefits of Tata Sky Annual Flexi Plan. When a subscriber fulfils this criterion, they will be eligible to get a credit in their account which will be equal to their monthly recharge value. Which means that if you maintain a recharge value of Rs 2,400 then your Tata Sky account will be credited with a value of Rs 200 as per the condition of Tata Sky Flexi Annual Plan. This offer will be much similar to a plan where you buy an annual subscription plan, and you get a month’s worth of subscription free.
