On Trai's recommendation of limiting 100 SMSs per day per SIM, Sarma said service providers such as dealers of telecom operators, e-ticketing agencies and social networking sites have been exempted from the regulation.
"We have issued a direction exempting certain categories from limitation of 100 SMSs per day. If genuine cases come to us, we will accept their request and exempt from some clauses. People need to inform us," Sarma said.
He added that on festival days there will be no limitation on the number of SMSs that can be send out from a single SIM.
