I think i have reason to contradict what TRAI is saying and allowing consumers to weep.<br /> <br />Section 29: Penalty for contravention of directions of Authrity (Read as TRAI) - If a person violates directions of the TRAI, such person shall be punishable with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees and in case of second or subsequent offence with fine which may extend to two lakh rupees and in the case of continuing contravention with additional fine which may extend to two lakh rupees for every day during which the default continues.<br /> <br />Section 30: Gives enough teeth to TRAI to take action against companies and directors.<br /> <br />Section 31: Gives ample scope to TRAI to punish Government Departments, especially BSNL. If TRAI proceed against BSNL CMD in already registered case, BSNL CMD will have to pay thru nose a huge sum of 36 crores to TRAI on a single complaint. <br /> <br />TRAI saying that - they merely forwarded the complaint to operator or saying any other thing is just excuse for something else.<br /> <br />See the scenario at Insurance regulator - Your complaint is acknowledged and acted within hours. In TRAI - everything is just fishy. In the end i wish to write that TRAI is self proclaimed Toothless Tiger, they are mere post office as they want to be, why is .................... prize.<br /> <br />Regards,<br />Avinash MurkuteGalaxy4uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06935961304307483070noreply@blogger.com
