In a press release following the Trai order, Reliance Jio said, “Jio accepts this decision. Jio is in the process of fully complying with regulator’s advice, and will be withdrawing the three months complimentary benefits of Jio Summer Surprise as soon as operationally feasible, over the next few days.”
Here’s all you need to know about the new announcement:
