Idea Cellular Ltd. — Balance deduction without justification

Address:Maharashtra

On March 11, 2013, I made a 28 minute call, for which my balance was deducted by INR 8 (I have 30p/min call charges). I had approx. INR 50 at this time. Two minutes later, I made another phone call that got cut in 3 mins due to insufficient balance. Without any use of internet or any other services, Idea had slashed my balance to 21 paise.
Shockingly, the person I was speaking to experienced the same problem, as his balance was slashed to nil from INR 100+ even though I had made the call and it was a local call. I demand an explanation and apology from Idea for such irresponsible deductions, and a reimbursement for the wrongly deducted balance.

Idea — Deduction in balance without any usage

Dear sir
This is to bring your kind attention that there was a deduction of Rs 8 in my mobile [protected] on 15 october 2010 and this is not the first time,even before this the same problem happened a month ago.Although Rs 8 is not a big amount but do you have any idea of how annoyed and irritated a person feels when his balance reaches suddenly 0 and he has to make an important call.Adding to the miseries is idea's message card which does not work at the time required or get expired before the validity period.When i talked to customer care executive there was no satisfactory response.Is this how idea cares for its customer,and if this continues then let me tell you no one will ever use idea's services.I am a college going student and trust me after this complain if idea do not reply on my mobile then i will surely complain to its main head quaters to tell them not to ever test the power of a student; the common people.
I hope you will help me in hightighing this problem to idea.

Thanking you
Yours faithfully
