Address: 700009

Dear sir,
I, shree indraneel boral, proprietor of maa lakshmi stores resides at 132a, raja rammohan sarani, kolkata - 700009, note before your goodself that as per advice of your distributor, m/s durga telecom, 5a, murlidhar lane, kolkata-700073 (Mobile no. [protected]),
I activated 104 new airtel connection during the month of march 2018. They assured me if i cross the limit of 100, i will get rs.100/=per new conection i. E. Rs.100x104=rs.10400/=. But on 28th april
2018, i received only rs.4625- rs.231 (G. S. T.)= rs. 4394/= instead of rs.10400/=.

In this connection when i enquired it over telephone, they agreed that i have done 104
New connection, but as the 12 new customers did not speak 15 minutes over telephone as soon as
They get new connections, you will not eligible to get rs.100/- per new connection as your new connections are limited to 92 only (104-12).

I regret to say that i have not been informed anything at the time of my new activations
And i tried at my best to fulfil this achievement. Now when i reach my goal, they deprived me from
My legitimated amount.

I hope you will please bestow your attention on this matter and do the needful action in this regard.

Thanking you and expecting kind co-operation from your esteemed concern.

Yours faithfully,
Indraneel boral

      I have been requesting to deactivate my airtel no [protected] but airtel is not stopping.
      I gave forst request on 04.04.2018 so i received call back and they confirmed my number will be stopped in a week.

      I did payment for the month of feb 2018. After payment number again activated by airtel. I received bill for april and may.

      I asked airtel on 11.05.2018, the airtel executive told me to clear bill till april, we will waive off bill for may month and you number will be stopped.

      I paid bill upto april 2018. But still i am geeting messages to pay bill for may month. So i contacted airtel again, this time ms. Sonia, punjb helpline, told there is no complaint registered to stop services of this number.

      I request to stop this number, [protected], with immediate effect and waive off may month bill.

      My alternate contact is [protected].

          Dear sir i have a airtel dth tv connection with account no [protected]. I was doing a recharge on my connection by airtel website i was given a special offer by company to recharge with 4261 along with details "pay for 10 months and get 60 days free". After i done the recharge i got message that your account is valid only for 8 months with expiry date 21st jan 2019. The company has offered the scheme for 12 months and instead giving it for 8 months which is a loot for me as i would have never done such big recharge. I called the customer care where the staff had no idea about the recharge plans and had just one answer we cant help you nor can we take complaint of the issue and asked me to pay more amount to get the benefits. I even asked them to refund the entire amount so even they denied for the same. Pls help me in this issue and punish these fraudulent activities where they loot customers money and then deny all the schemes and plans

                  Hi team,

                  It's been more than 12 times and 6 days, i have been through lots of trouble only doing follow up for 4g network access for my number:[protected].

                  Moreover i have visited airtel office several times and raised 3 complaints for this.

                  The airtel customer care executive and floor mangers are extremely uneducated and not up to the mark.
                  So many false promises and assurances made me very unhappy.

                  I feel the brand name and customer support are inversely proposal.

                  Everytime i call, they provide me assurance of resolving the issues in 24/48 hrs its been 6 days am fed off.

                  Moreover i got calls from 4 people yesterday for the same but no one got back after that.

                  Compaint numbers:[protected], 85463319

                  I have all the call recordings which can prove how dumb these executives are.

I recieved a message saying that my services were being updated and that i should restart my phone. I did so and then i saw that my network signal was gone. Now i am stuck with no signal. I need help. Asap.

                            I'm a postpaid customer of airtel my number is [protected] and my monthly bill is approx 1000+ and which i pay every month regularly. It is to bring to the kind notice that if the network and data issues are not fixed i shall discontinue to pay the bill and immediately port out. Airtel will held responsible for my pending or due bills and i shall not pay at any circumstance. If this issue continue, i shall file a case in consumer court for the losses which incurred to me due to network and data issues in-spite of paying hefty bills.

                              I went to airtel store located in vaishali nagar (Amrapali circle) to convert the postpaid number to prepaid for my father. I took all the documents required along with the photocopy of id proof duly signed by my father. While entering the store i asked the person at token desk whether my request can be processed here. I told him it is my father's sim card and he said it can be done and gave me the token.
                              After waiting in the queue, when i finally went to the service desk, the staff there told me that it's not possible and i need to bring my father along. Firstly, this was in itself a mistake. I should have been denied at the token counter so that my time would not have been wasted.
                              These people took it to next level when the head (Lady) of the store mocked at me. This head-lady was not even wearing her name-tag and refused to tell me her name. This incidence took place on 24th may 2018 at around 7:30 pm. The lady was wearing a white shirt and had specs. I felt really insulted. I request the company to take appropriate action so that she does not treat other customers like this. I never expected this from airtel!

                                    I made a payment for new connection from sunil in thane west, i was promised a connection the next day. I had to make my workers wait two days as sunil told me the connection will be done from the back of the shop. The next day sunil came with another member of staff and said the connection can not be made from the back it has to be made from the front. My workers already sealed the back because sunil said could not be done from back. Then another engineer came today and said he has to take it from the back and i have to open my whole back ceiling pop and plaster.
