Under the new billing plan, the users can make local and STD calls within BSNL network at the rate of one paisa per second, BSNL CMD Kuldeep Goyal said.
Another plan that has also been introduced allows local and STD calls to any network at 49 paise per minute, he added.
The 49 paise/minute call is expected to help BSNL grab more users and take on the competition, as it takes the tariff to new low as far as STD calls are concerned.
BSNL has also announced a lower tariff 3G services plan, under which voice calls would be charged at 30 paise per minute.
Private telcos such as Vodafone, Airtel, Reliance and Aircel had already introduced per-second billing plans.
