[Resolved]  BSNL 3G — Received Rs21,826 bill without any intimation on credit limit

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I received a bill of RS: 21,826, for my BSNL 3G connection. I didn't receive any intimation letter via email/mail regarding the credit limit offered to me.

I reached the BSNL AO department, to address the issue. But only after reaching their office, I got informed on the in-trim bill generation concept. Before that, I was not informed on the same via any source. When I asked them about the issue, they simply responded that they wanted the customer at their office to get them informed on their doubts.

I belong to RS:1,359 plan in 3G and I have a limited download of 15GB per month. They have made the calculation in my bill as, usage of data exceeding 7.5 GB in 15 days is being charged and the rest 7.5 GB is free for the next 15 days. I was not informed on the above mode of billing in any means.

I got a duplicate copy of data usage for my connection and found that 7 GB is being downloaded in 11 straight hours. That comes upto 181 KBPS speed. But the maximum speed i received didn't even cross 121 KBPS. So I doubt on the data being charged too.

Moreover, I received the bill at midst of the month leaving only 2-3 days span to the due date. I spoke with the AO department and to the DE working in the BSNL office, but still didn't get the issue resolved. The highlight to all of this is that, after 26/5/2011 my data card was totally barred, but still I have received a new bill for june month too.

I'm mentally harassed for the past 2 months on the issue, not getting resolved and since the money involved is a huge-sum.

@Mr. Dinesh, the problem you mentioned above is completely unbearable but i doubt that this forum does not forward your complaint to the higher authority. You may have to contact the administration again and make sure that you convince them that the fault is from their side, but if they don't agree. You can contact the BSNL heads through BSNL 3g feedback page. Take the 11 hours point as your main point. If the BSNL people are harrasing you for the money you may sue them. Their is a clause any government department which states that if you are not able to pay the bill due to some error by the particular department then the department will subsidized the amount and that amount you must have to pay.

Billing after disconnection of service is a general issue of BSNL, cant help out. But the sum of money is huge. I am not blaming BSNL because i dont know the complete matter, if the BSNL authorities are not giving you the correct answers to your question then its completely wrong. try to contact the higher authorities of BSNL through their email ID and not through forums, because BSNL don't respond to your forum complains as their are billions of complaints already.

Do remember that If you have used the card as mentioned above and not aggreing to pay that much bill then it is a wrong deed. Try to complaint against it on the feedback page of BSNL 3G website. Who knows you might get a solution.
@ Mr.Prashrocks: Thanks alot for providing such a detailed reply sir and sorry for responding too late!!! Now I've mailed higher authorities with such a detailed mail and waiting for their reply!!! Do you know anyone being addressed back for their complaints soon by any means????? If so I need to know how and where did they file their complaint.
In India, the reply to the complaints are not guaranteed so i don't have such idea.. Just wait for the reply...
