Tamil Nadu government-owned multi-system
operator (MSO) Arasu Cable TV Corporation has again give warning to the
local cable operators (LCOs) against charging more than Rs 70 from cable
TV subscribers.
In order to prevent over-charging of monthly subscription fees by LCOs, Arasu has issued stamped receipt books bearing Rs 70 amount that every LCO has to provide to the subscribers while collecting monthly subscription fees.
The corporation has issued newspaper ads urging subscribers to insist on receipts from their respective LCOs. It also told subscribers not to pay more than Rs 70 in monthly subscription fees. Of the prescribed Rs 70, the LCOs can keep Rs 50 a connection as administrative expenses while Rs 20 has to be credited to the corporation’s account.
Arasu Cable TV Corporation managing director Kumaragurubaran, who made a comeback at the MSO following a reshuffle, is leading the corporation’s initiative to prevent overcharging by LCOs by making it mandatory to issue receipts.
Incidentally, it was during Kumaragurubaran’s earlier stint that the issue of receipt had cropped up. It had enraged the LCOs in Tamil Nadu so much that some of them had challenged the decision in the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court.
