Daily mobile recharge limited at Tk 500

Staff Correspondent: Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has directed all mobile phone operators to limit the daily recharge at Tk 500 for a single prepaid mobile number.

BTRC sent letters providing related directives to the mobile phone operators on Tuesday.

BTRC Chairman Dr Shahjahan Mahmood confirmed the matter.

 

However, mobile phone operators said that the directive will create problem for their different existing services and also have an impact on the country’s digitization process.

Currently there is no bar on the daily recharge, though Tk 1,000 is the limit for every single recharge.

At the same time, BTRC in its directive increased the volume of mobile transaction figure from the existing Tk 100 to Tk 300 for each maximum transaction. But this directive is not applicable for postpaid mobile phone users.
