As per Trai (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) Clip charges should not be made compulsory.
Ref:
Tariff plans with misleading titles
prohibited
(iii) Charges for CLIP facility cannot be made a
compulsory item of tariff for subscribers in
any tariff plan. Whenever, CLIP charges are
sought to be levied by the service providers
it should be optional for the subscribers.
[Direction No.301-49/2005-Eco dated 16th
September 2005 and 23rd August 2007]

I called my service provider i.e. Airtel and mentioned that why CLIP charges are applicable in my plan. To which he mentioned we can wave off the Clip Charges. I told them as per the TRAIL (under Government of India) have made clip facility non chargeable since year 2007.
My sim was activated in year 2008 or 2009, since then i have been paying CLIP charges on my mobile bill & these have never been removed by AIRTEL.
Though I am loyal customer of Airtel, however, i would seriously recommend to spread such awareness to consumers that such charges are not applicable.
I request, though the medium of this forum, my complain is given due consideration and should be looked in to seriously with Airtel.
