notice. Millions of Central Government employees and pensioners
subscribed to the service at 20% discounted rate. The fact that they
continue to utilize the service is indication enough of the offer’s
success.

September 2012. In order to increasing of broadband services with grace
to all serving and retired Central Govt. employees, BSNL has announced a
special discount scheme of 20% discount on usage and rental postpaid
wireless broadband services.
After exactly a year, the discount was
reduced from 20% to 10%. This has caught many by surprise. There is also
an apprehension that the scheme might be completely withdrawn after a
year.

there is none compared to BSNL.
All Central Government Employees are
