In view of the tough competition from the Private Telephone and Mobile Phone providers in India and the present burning problem faced by the Government’s Tele-Communications Sector- the “2G Scam” , the Bharat Sanchar Nigam ltd.(BSNL) is forced to take such attractive steps to retain the existing customers and attract new customers.
