Jio said in a statement “For all recharges done by Jio customers starting today, calls made to other mobile operators will be charged at the prevailing IUC rate of 6 paise per minute through IUC top-up vouchers till such time that TRAI moves to Zero termination charge regime. Presently, this date is 1st January 2020”. Furthermore Jio says that on the confidence that IUC will be brought down to zero from 2020, Jio continued to pay IUC from its own resources to Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, while offering free voice to its customers.



Moreover so far, in the last three years Jio claims to have paid nearly Rs 13,500 crore as NET IUC charges to other operators. Jio claims that due to ‘exorbitant tariffs’ charged by other networks, Jio receives 25 to 30 crore missed calls on a daily basis from Airtel and Vodafone-Idea. Perhaps for all recharges done by Jio customers starting Wednesday, calls made to other mobile operators will be charged at the prevailing IUC rate of 6 paise per minute through IUC top-up vouchers till TRAI moves to Zero termination charge regime.
