The rules include a specific ban on discriminatory pricing for internet services based on their content, meaning operators cannot offer 'zero rating', that is free or cheaper data traffic, for specific online services.

Violations of the ban on discriminatory pricing can result in the Trai issuing a fine of INR 50,000 per day, up to a maximum INR 5 million.
