All licensed telecommunications operators yesterday announced that all mobile and fixed line subscribers will be granted a 10 percent bonus usage on internet packages/cards as a special gesture to mark the removal of Telecommunication Levy by the government. 


Operators in a joint statement said the removal of the Telecommunication Levy on internet by the government is a forward-looking move towards improving affordability and creation of a digital Sri Lanka. 


 This bonus internet offer is subject to the approval by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka and will be implemented along with the removal of Telco Levy on Internet effective from 01 September 2017.
