BSNL has also clarified that, the revenue share between BSNL and TIPs/Partners (in case, connection is provisioned by TIP/Partner) will be distributed only after deduction of discounted amount of Rs.100/-. It means, if the connection was provided through LCOs/TIPs, then revenue share will be given to them after the deduction of discounted amount of Rs 100/-.

The above instructions have immediate effect on promotional basis for 90 days with effect from 6th October 2021. (i.e., From 06-10-2021 to 03-01-2022) across all the telecom circles.

BSNL (Kerala) should provide the list of exchanges that have the facility for customers to retain the old landline number when migrating to FTTH.
I was assigned a new number while migrating to the fibre connection as the exchange is NGN. Aren’t they upgrading all exchanges to NGN? Is there any chance of getting the old number back once the exchange upgrades to NGN.? Currently JTO promised to make call forwarding from old number to new number.
