TRAI DAS Interconnect Regulation DAS 30.04.2012<\/a><\/p>\n “On going through the averments in these applications, the Appellate Authority is permitted to review the tariff ceiling to make adjustment for inflation and notify the same, in exercise of its powers conferred under section 11(2) of the TRAI Act, 1997\u201d<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n TRAI 11th (TAO) 31.03.2014<\/a><\/p>\n TRAI 13th (TAO) 31.12.2014\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n TDSAT Order of 29.05.2014<\/a><\/p>\n Thereafter a judgment dated 28.04.2015 was delivered by the Hon\u2019ble TDSAT in this Appeal, with the following observations made, those are reproduced below:<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026 The entire increase is arbitrary as it is on an ad-hoc and interim fixation, as such itself arbitrary in the first place. The increase is otherwise also wholly arbitrary and suffers from non-application of mind.<\/em><\/p>\n The impugned tariff order has been issued in complete violation of section 11(4) and there is no transparency whatsoever in the process adopted by the TRAI.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Before we conclude, we think that TRAI will be well advised to have a fresh look at the various tariff orders in a holistic manner and come out with a comprehensive tariff order in supersession of all the earlier tariff orders. While doing so, it may consider all the agreements and relevant data available with it. It may consider differentiating between content which is of a monopolistic nature as against that the like of which is shown by other channels also. It may also consider classifying the content into premium and basic tiers. It may identify the major cost components so that increase or decrease in such costs may be suitably factored while working out the inflationary hikes. Increase in costs of such components as may be available in indexes such as WPI, GDP deflator etc. can then be applied. While working out the tariffs, the effort should be to encourage a correct declaration of SLR. While carrying out the exercise, it may take the inputs from various stakeholders and give a reasoned order for accepting or rejecting the same. We want to be amply clear that the above are only some suggestions and TRAI being an expert body may arrive at suitable tariffs independently; it is up to it to consider the above and\/or any other factors\u2026..<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Final Order dated 28.04.2015 passed by the Hon’ble TDSAT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgement \/ Order dated 04.08.2015<\/a><\/p>\n TRAI Press Release No 28 of 2016 dated 09.05.2016<\/a><\/p>\n PRAYERS<\/strong><\/p>\n We claim following reliefs that TRAI must:-<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Copy of Detailed Representation made to CP TRAI dated 12.08.2016<\/a><\/p>\n “The Ld.
