It, however, said LTA holders shall neither be required to pay licence fee nor Performance Bank Guarantee.
The service provider who wants to offer services covered in category of LTA will get license merely by informing the licensor and submitting a statement on compliance with certain terms and conditions regarding security, etc which
will be issued by Department of Telecom.
