In November 2013, The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had set a ceiling tariff of Rs 1.50 for each outgoing USSD-based mobile banking session and had asked telecom service providers to collect the charges from their subscribers for providing this service. It had also increased the maximum number of stages for completing a mobile banking transaction to five stages of message transmission, in case of SMS and five stages of options in case of USSD and IVR. Besides this, it had also issued regulations to establish a framework to enable bank agents interface with access service providers to provide mobile banking services through SMS, USSD and IVR channels.
