TRAI extends the time-line for submission of Consumer Application Forms now July 10

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has decided to extend the time-line for submission of consumer application forms (CAFs) by subscribers of Digital Addressable Cable TV systems to July 10, 2013. This is the last and final extension. Earlier, the deadline to submit the CAFs was June 25, 2013.

A meeting with all national Multi System Operators (MSOs) was held in TRAI and the status with regard to the entry of consumer details along with the choice of channels and services in their subscriber management systems was reviewed. TRAI has pointed out that there is still a large number of subscribers whose complete details are not yet available with Cable Operators/MSOs. The MSOs cited the enormity and complexity of the task involved as the prime reason for the pendency and requested for an extension in the deadline for completion of the task.

TRAI considered the request and decided to extend the deadline for submission of CAFs. This is being done to achieve full coverage by July 10, 2013 and with a view to minimise consumer inconvenience that could result from MSOs disconnecting set-top boxes immediately.
