NEA’s explanation to Ncell saying why action will not be taken on the issue of swindling Rs 122 crore from customers

A study has shown that private mobile service provider Ncell has collected more than Rs 1.22 billion from customers in defiance of the regulatory body’s directives. Earlier, Tekpana had made public the news that various services and packs were automatically renewed without the customer’s approval and the money was refunded after the customer complained.
The study was conducted by the Nepal Telecommunications Authority on the basis of the news and complaints from customers. According to the study, Ncell has collected around Rs 1.22 billion from customers.

Chairman Purushottam Khanal informed that the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTAA) had written a letter to Ncell on September 5 asking why it would not take action on the basis of the study report. According to him, Ncell was initially given three days for clarification.
However, the company has demanded an extension of one week due to Covid-19. “We have asked Ncell for an explanation as to why it is not taking action. If his answer is not satisfactory, we will take action.

Earlier, as per the decision of 14 September 2075, NEA had instructed Ncell to stop the automatic renewal of value added service (VAS) on 15 September 2075. However, a study has found that the company has continued to disobey the directive for the past two years.

According to the study report, Ncell had introduced this type of service since 1974 BS. However, the study only includes data from June 2075 to April 2077.

During that period, the company has earned a total of Rs 2.22 billion through daily, three-day, weekly and monthly packs of services like Gameloft and App Gallery.

According to Section 47 (1) of the Telecommunications Act, 2053, a fine of Rs 50,000 has been imposed on the service recipients. Why not compensate the service recipients by collecting the big amount of Rs 1.22 billion? ‘The NEA has sent a letter of explanation to Ncell.

According to NEA sources, the number of customers who will automatically renew their services in three days at Ncell under Gameloft is 1.954 million. Similarly, the number of customers who renew automatically in a week is around one lakh 11 thousand.

The Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF), an Indian television channel, has urged the Government of Nepal not to implement the Clean Feed Policy for another six months. The IBF has written a letter urging not to apply clean feed in the current situation of Covid-19.

The IBF has sent a letter to the Secretary of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Hari Prasad Basyal, urging him to postpone the implementation of the policy for six months in view of the current dire situation.

The letter said, “We understand that the Advertising (Regulation) Act of the Government of Nepal will come into force on October 26, 2076.” The world is now plagued by epidemics. There is logging in some places in India as well as Nepal. In the midst of this lockdown, six months have passed since the implementation. Therefore, we request to postpone the implementation of the policy for six months. ‘

“At present, our members are not able to go out and work with vendors, conduct technical tests and implement them,” said IBF secretary Radhakrishnan in a letter. There is no way to connect the box. ‘

But the ministry seems ignorant in this regard. Ministry Secretary Basyal said he had not received any such letter. He said, “No letter has been received from the ministry in this regard. There is no need to talk about anything without any information. ‘
