According to the government, the latest auction price will be applicable on trading deals throughout a given financial year. Thereafter, an SBI prime lending rate will be added for calculating the price of spectrum.

Recently the government had approved both spectrum sharing as well as trading guidelines. However it is yet to disclose the details of the spectrum trading policy. These two guidelines are expected to address shortage of spectrum, while improve quality of mobile services and reduce call drops. Presently, the trading policy is under approvals and is likely to be issued soon.
