New Delhi: State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) on May 13 announced a partial rollback in telephone tariffs by increasing the number of free calls per month.

While BSNL increased free calls from 50 to 75 for rural subscribers and 30 to 50 for urban subscribers, MTNL announced 60 free calls against 30.

BSNL also halved landline call charges to cell phones to Rs 1.20 per minute instead of Rs 1.20 for 30 seconds.

However, there would be no change in MTNL's tariff for calls from landline to cell phone.
