The telecom service provider said that its customer charter has now been implemented across its 22 circles.
The charter, a first-of-its-kind endeavor in the Indian telecom industry, is aimed at ensuring that customer service emerges as a key differentiator for telecom operators.
It focuses on several identified aspects of customer interaction, with the larger objective of creating top-class service standards and benchmarks. The charter will fulfill customer commitments across five areas identified by Tata Teleservices, with compensation clauses built in, wherein the company will pay customers if pre-set service levels on any of those parameters are not met.
''The Charter is a reaffirmation of TTSL's commitment to the person who makes the biggest difference to our lives - the customer," said Anil Sardana, managing director, Tata Teleservices, announcing the launch of the charter.
