postpaid connection plan changed without my consent

I had opted for Airtel postpaid plan of Rs 199. This was changed to 399 without informing me or without my consent. I never asked for this change. I just realized that I have been paying this extra unnecessary money for the last 8 months or so. I want a complete refund of this extra amount along with a letter of explanation and apology. This isn't the first time this has happened with Airtel....

misleading consumers by unlimited calling plans.

For that I have to top up my number with extra money in order to call the helpline numbers. That too at very high cost of 2.40 rupees per minute. This is not fair. Other services like JIO includes these numbers starting with 1860 in their unlimited plans. If I am an airtel customer...
