Who Benefits Most with Non Payment of IUC Charges?

Telecom experts are of the opinion that the discontinuation of the IUC would impact Vodafone Idea the most as it has been the net recipient of the charges. Whereas for Bharti Airtel, the impact is likely to be neutral. Reliance Jio will stand to benefit the most from the zero IUC regime as it would no longer have to pay the rival operators for the outgoing calls made by the Jiousers. Starting January 1, 2021, a Book and Keep the regime would be implemented thus terminating the payment of the IUC. 

 "As per directions of the Hon'ble Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, Bill and Keep regime is being implemented in the country from 1st January 2021, thereby ending the IUC for all domestic voice calls. Honoring its commitment to revert off-net domestic voice-call charges to zero, as soon as IUC charges are abolished, Jio will once again make all off-net domestic voice calls free, starting 1st January 2021," the company said in a statement. The IUC has been a bone of contention for Jio. Hence the discontinuation of the same brings cheer for the telecom operator.
