To curb rejection of mobile number portability requests, telecom regulator Trai on Thursday proposed to enhance roll of MNP clearing house which will have all the details of subscribers required for completion of the process.
UPC is issued to mobile subscriber when he places request for MNP to transfer his connection on some other network but the recipient operator (RO), on whose network the subscriber wants to move, does not get to know bill outstanding, validity of UPC etc that are crucial for completing the process. As per analysis of MNP report from April, 2016 to March, 2017 indicates that average rejection of porting requests by telecom operators in all the categories was about 11.16 per cent and rejections on the grounds of ‘UPC Mismatch’ and ‘UPC expired’ constituted about 40 per cent of the total rejections.
