Headed by AK Bhargava, a six-member panel had been formed to submit a report on net neutrality.
Currently, the DoT report is with the Prime Ministers Office.
It will basically be the backbone of a set of policies around net neutrality put into place.
It will also include suggestions from the telecom regular that are yet to be submitted to DoT.
A panel has the taken the views of all the stakeholders before submitting it to the telecom minister.
There were a few critical points of debate such as allowing zero rating plans or not.
The report will back the governments stand unequivocally, a person familiar with the matter told The Economic Times.
It means all bits are same on the Internet.
The Internet service provider should not treat certain kinds of bits over others.
The FCC, prodded by the US president Barack Obama supported net neutrality in the US.
A lot has been spoken and written about net neutrality in India in the past couple of months.
However, exceptionally large outrage pushed its partner Flipkart to walk out of Airtel Zero.
It received an inundating response of more than 11 lakh petitions.
