Airtel — debit freeze on acc.

Airtel — debit freeze on acc.

A akshitbalana from Hanumangarh, Rajasthan

The same thing happened to me, a year ago i added some rs 1500 to my airtel bank account which i use for paying bills for our airtel post-paid mobile accounts. Recently i started getting an error and the customer service at airtel told me that my account is in 'debit freeze' and asked me to submit proof of id and address proof which i did, now they are asking for aadhar card number which i as a nri cannot get, in fact indian govt has prohibited nris (Foreign citizens) from getting an aadhar card since it subsidizes certain payments for indians. Now airtel, one of the biggest telecom company in india has left me high and dry, basically its daylight robbery if they are going to keep my money as a basis of not having aadhar card, its all a scam since they should have asked for all such id information before opening a bank account, even now the scam continues since they will allow me to deposit money in this account, but will not allow me to use the same for debit transactions such as paying bills that will benefit their own company. Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Feb 27, 2018 Updated by akshitbalana I registered on airtel money wallet this month however when i am trying to initiate any transfer from my account, it shows debit facility has been disabled in my account. The number is [protected]. I have submitted all valid identification documents as per KYC norms to the airtel money email id. I dont know what kind of foul play is going on, they are just trapping people to use airtel money to receive gifts in form of cash for shopping and spending and paying bills, and once you get the money in wallet, they will stop the debiting. My wallet is not even a month old. And got a lot of balance, and now they have blocked it. They are now asking me to send to them the sender's bank account statement. Is it even logical? Why on earth will the sender share the bank a/c statement and as we know these details are very sensitive and confidential. Airtel assured me number of times for a proper resolution. But this aint a resolution even. I run the account, the account is in my name, i am the authorized person, i have submitted my verification documents. But when the company is here to loot me, how can i save my back? IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I EARNESTLY REQUEST YOU, NEVER EVER TO USE AIRTEL MONEY. ITS A BIG SCAM
