The DoT may recommend extending pre-paid mobile services in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and North East till end of financial year 2014-15 on account of the overall improvement in performance of consumer application form audit.
According to sources, DoT may seek Committee of Secretaries approval to extend pre-paid mobile services which should end by March as per the prevailing order.
The department had issued an order to stop pre-paid mobile services in these three service areas due to security reasons.
Sources also said that DoT has noted improvement in consumer details provided in the application for mobile connections in these telecom service areas.
Also, DoT is contemplating to challenge a telecom tribunal TDSAT ruling against the government order which was issued to limit acceptance of Gram Panchayat certificate and Voter cards, issued during a certain period of time for mobile recharges and connections to reduce fake connections.
"Keeping in view the overall improvement in performance in the CAF (consumer application form) audit, we may consider recommending to CoS that the pre-paid service in the three areas ie J&K, Assam and North East may be extended for a period of two years effective from April 1, 2013," a DoT source said.
