    Website: Airtel

    I have done a recharge yesterday (24/11/2021) for 1498 rupees. I got a message that your recharge is failed but to no avail my money deducted from Amazon wallet is not refunded until now.

    I have contacted both Amazon and Airtel. Amazon has provided me with a confirmation mail of approval of transaction and Got a message from Airtel that it is failed.

    Where's My money?

    I have registered complaints regarding the same with both.

    This is the second time this has happened to me, it happened during the pandemic too on a recharge of 149 rupees.

    Airtel is also looting us all
    I think it's time we go to consumer court and challenge their dirty practice.

    Don't forget Consumer is the king.

    Those who are ready to file complaint against Airtel in court please send me a mail
    [protected]@gmail.com.

    Thank you.

        Airtel company presented that the prices are going to increase after November 26, so they revealed new recharge pack of 2498 with 365 days validity which will be activated after the completion of present pack validity. So I recharged with 2498, but my present pack was still 22days validity left. After recharge, 2498 got activated so I called customer care after waiting for 15-20minutes, they said that this pack will not be applicable for my number as my previous pack data was less. But this is all waste of our money and time. Any objections should be mentioned clearly. They told that it can be refunded back but can't extend the validity. It's all Airtel company words that validity can be extended. Now they are denying it

            I initiated a recharge for rupees 2498, using 10 rupees from my Airtel wallet and the rest from my bank account. The amount got deducted and is showing as a statement in the bank passbook too, but the recharge and transaction details for the same is not on Airtel app. Neither has any text message arrived about either the success or the failure of this very transaction. I'd really appreciate if you can help me get my amount refunded as it's a big sum of money.

                I ported from BSNL into Airtel on 9 October 2021. The prepaid SIM Airtel provided at the time of porting has still not been activated. I have consequently been without a phone connection for over 40 days. The less said about this derisory state of affairs the better. I am using this forum as a last resort, seeing as Airtel have failed to resolve the matter for a long time, now.

                    Company is continuously increasing the price of plan like Rs 49 plan is discontinued now Rs 79 plan is increased to Rs99 but there is still so many issues related to network. I'm very disappointed with all this. These are extremely expensive for many of the middle class persons and as they are limited for 22 or 28 days that means we have to recharge the number for every month and if the talktime is not used then it's wasted. Which makes it more uncomfortable and expensive. So stop increasing price and start increasing validity and quality of the product otherwise I've no choice rather than porting the number or discontinue the use of your network.

                      I have recharged twice Airtel number for Rs. 219 on 18th Oct 2021 and received an SMS saying that the transaction was unsuccessful and if amount is deducted, it will be refunded within 7-10 days, and an order ID for future reference. Bank transaction was also completed successfully but the mobile number is not recharged.

                      Till now I got no message regarding the recharge, although the amount has been debited from my bank account.

                      As per email communication with bank, they require a confirmation from Airtel that they had not received that amount twice on 18th Oct. I have tried reaching out to the Airtel customer care through email and call. But no update.

                      Please help me to get my refund.

                        Not getting Incoming calls

                        Recently I port out my number from Jio to Airtel Kolkata. After activation of my sim and recharge properly, My incoming call service is stopped. When someone trying to call me they are getting network busy all the time, everywhere. They are giving me 10 days resolution while I am already missing official calls. Kindly look into this matter....

                        Hi,
                        Airtel Broadband is not working since November 11nth, 2021. It has been 12 days since the internet is down. Daily new engineers are coming in, and no proper response or reply after seeing the issue, even the ticket is open. Attached screenshot

                        Raised concern with nodal officers, they promised to get back in 48 hours which has not happened yet, attached screenshot

                        12 days, my work has been severely affected due to this.

                        Trying to reach customer care number and it says, your ticket is already open and will be addressed.

                        I am not ready to pay the bill for such a service where I have been affected.

                                We are applied 5th November for shifting our Airtel PRI connection to our new office building from existing.

                                They register our application and give a reply mail, where they mentioned that they have to done the job within 11th November 2021. and they gave a ref. no for the same which is SR[protected].

                                Today 22nd November, but neither they reply our mail nor finish the job!!

                                And they send full month rental bill against that connection, whereas we couldn't use the service half of month.

                                  Hello,
                                  My name is Sankalp Srivastava and my airtel number is [protected]. My plan got ended on 19 nov so I wanted to do a recharge. For that I wanted to add money in my airtel wallet and use that to pay for recharge. The problem is that when i added Money for the first time the transaction failed but money was debited from my account. It showed on screen that transaction failed and money will be refunded back in 24 hours . I failed to take the screen shot of that page and i couldn't find it anywhere. Now as i have to make phone calls I made the recharge again to Airtel wallet and used it to recharge my number.
                                  So in short I added the money in airtel wallet two times with google pay upi as mode of payment. The first time money was debited from my account but showed failed and didn't add in my wallet. As i needed urgent recharge so i made the payment again to add money to my wallet so again 598₹ was debited.
                                  You can see in the mini bank statement provided.
                                  The transaction for which my wallet showed money was

                                  The transaction that failed and Money was debited by didn't showed in my account is

                                  I need refund for the this transaction. As it got failed so it should get back to my account. Please check into it.

                                  The money in the wallet was used to do the recharge and I am not talking about it. The one that got failed the first time, i need information on that.

                                  If you need any more proof i would love to corporate with bank statement and more.

                                  Please help me out here. The amount is not a small that I can leave it.

                                  Regards
                                  Sankalp Srivastava

                                    I wrongly select airtel operator instead of jio and airtel receives the recharge amount, why?
                                    Please return my money
