The Deputy Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party State Duma Boris Chernyshov addressed the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Maxim Shaskolsky, with a proposal to ban mobile operators from charging commissions for replenishing accounts from a third-party bank. In the appeal, held by RIA Novosti, Chernyshov seeks to clarify the official position of the Federal Antimonopoly Service on the collection of commissions by telecom operators when replenishing an account from a third-party bank.
The parliamentarian also recommends considering the possibility of a complete ban of such actions for all operators in the telecommunications sector, including those providing communications services, cable television and the Internet.
According to Chernyshov, from the end of 2022, some Russian mobile operators receive commissions from their subscribers for top-ups to the account of a third-party bank.
