Earlier soldiers paid a monthly sum of Rs 500 and an additional Rs 5 per minute as call charges.
The government's move drastically reduces call rates, from Rs 5 per minute to Re 1.
"Starting tomorrow, the monthly charge of Rs 500 will be completely discarded. Instead of Rs 5 per minute, soldiers will now have to pay Re 1," the minister added.
WTF is this? While telecom companies r providing unlimited calls and internet for monthly 300 rs. Why defence ministry is charging rs 500 every month and every call 5rs?
