    BSNL reduced ISD tariff to some of the SAARC Nations

    BSNL has reduced ISD tariff to some of the SAARC nations like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives and Pakistan from mobile as well as fixed line phones.

    A BSNL official said the decision for selective ISD rate cut is based on traffic elasticity. The next round of cuts could be for calls to the Middle East and West Asian countries, he said.

    From BSNL cell, under the Postpaid Plan 725, calls to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives and Pakistan would cost Rs 9 per minute instead of the existing Rs 10, and from other post-paid plans and prepaid ones, call charges would be Rs 9 per minute instead of Rs 12. The drop in charges are in the range of 11-33 per cent.

    For BSNL fixed line users, call charges to these four countries would now be Rs 9.60 paise per minute for a 7.5 second pulse. Earlier, the charges were Rs 12 a minute for a six-second pulse.

    At present, private players charge Rs 6.40 a minute to countries like the US and Canada. The new rates are effective from November 1.

    Though the reduction in the call rates is around 20%, i wouldn’t see a spectacular increase in calling to SAARC countries. Considering the fat price tag it comes with, some free calling minutes could help make it more attractive.
