Airtel — cost of channels after a la carte selection gone up

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600029

Was paying rs. 172 for only 10 malayalam channels.7 english news and business channels. This is because i have netflix, so movies are from that.
After the current pay only for channel for selected channels, cost is only rs. 97 but with an additional rs 130 claimed as base charge plus gst, total works out to rs. 254, an increase of rs. 82 or 47%.
I can understand paying a minimum charge (Say rs. 100) to any service provider, if selected channels selected are less than the minimum charge.
However, airtel has added rs. 130 over and above cost of channels selected. Airtel is thus violating the very intent of the new law which wants to reduce the burden on the consumer, while being fair to the service provider.
Airtel is by this action, unfairly and deviously profiting, from this change. The rule must specifically state that if the cost of chosen channels is less than rs. 100, the minimum charge of 100 will be applicable.

Most pathetic customer care services. Since last couple of month trying to lodge a complaint but every time service executive put me on mute, airtel app doesn't response to the needful etc.
I think backdoor you guys are helping Reliance Jio to take over .
When Tata sky and sun direct are reducing the NCF charges why can't Airtel. Please try to reduce the charges.
