Airtel — Misleading recharge information on website and app

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

I recharged my wife's airtel mobile number with 45 rupees for 180 MB 2g data with validity 28 days but the 2g and 3g balance shows no data. Also, when the recharge was done, she received a message saying 200 MB whatsapp data recharge done. This is clearly misleading users to wrong recharge. One can't enable internet on a smartphone with this recharge as all the talktime balance is depleted in minutes so one will have to shed more rupees on internet recharge. Please check into the matter. I have attached a screenshot of airtel website page where it is clearly mentioned 180 MB 2g data, 28 days and not 200 MB WhatsApp for 45 rupees. They are making fool of normal people
