200 SMS Per Day Limit Stayed By Supreme Court  
 
The message cap was largely introduced to counter spams and tele-market phone calls.

Tuesday, December 04, 2012 Supreme Court has stayed a telecom tribunal order on 4 December abolishing the limit of the number of SMSes to 200 per day for a user. The quota was introduced in 2011 by the regulator, TRAI to stop spamming by telemarketing companies but was lifted by the Delhi High Court in July this year.

In a brief hearing, a bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi stayed the Telecom Disputes and Appellate Tribunal’s (TDSAT) order. The Supreme Court passed the order on an appeal filed by TRAI challenging tribunal’s order. TDSAT had termed the ceiling on SMSes as “arbitrary” and against the right of freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under the Constitution and had set aside the sector regulator TRAI’s circular on 17 July.

telecom, 200 sms, court stay, DoT, trai, 4 december,




Earlier, TRAI had permitted sending only 100 SMSes per day except on blackout days or days specially notified by it and this was increased to 200 SMSes per day per SIM on 1 November 2011.

Though Supreme Court has ordered to remove the cap, it is not sure when the directives from DoT and TRAI will be implemented on operators’ front. Considering, SMS celebrated its 21 birthday recently, the Supreme Court has given the best possible gift.
