The message i received is, "upc cannot be generated for the reasons: (1) there are subsisting contractual obligations with your service provider. Please contact your service provider for further assistance." please help.

        Idea cellular has been deducting balance 10 rs for no reason every time it is recharged. Have tried several time contacting and requesting to provide solution but no proper response.

        I have been facing this problem since 4 months. The mobile is basic mobile micromax x772 and it doesn't have any gaming and they are giving reason that gaming is deducting the balance.

        This is pathetic and i need justice for this.

        Regards,
        Ravindrakumar rodge

            Address: PUNE

            Respected sir/madam hope youre doing well.
            My idea mobile number is [protected].
            4 days back i found my sim card is not receiving any range at all. I have 4 other idea simcards in my family, and they were all working fine, so i tried to troubleshoot through the basic steps as mobile networks, phone on off, flight mode on off etc it didnt work,
            Then i tried to use the simcard in other phone and other idea simcard in my phone, where i find my phone is working fine, but my sim card is not receiving any signal.
            So i went to idea gallery baner, and told them my issue, as per them they needed adhar card owner of adhar card and a photo and 75 rupees, here starts the issue
            The simcard is registered in my younger brothers name, who stays in south africa and wont be coming until december, i have his adhar card original with me and my brother is also ready to be online and give the permission, he is also ready to give writteen cpnsent to sim swap, or any other thing he can provide to make sure the sim card gets swapped.
            But they said they can not make changes if he is not present here himself.
            Then i try to get on to mail with idea for the sake of resolving this issue, and i was hopeful that some senior representative will come into play and resolve this as soon as possible.
            But, after 4 days of everyday follow up and instant replies from me, i figured out they do not even understand the issue. Keeping on asking any sort of question other than my problem
            Not even they are reading my mails properly which have already stated the issue correctly in the first place, neither reading the whole conversation.
            What should i do in these circumstances.
            I need to know if they can solve this issue or not, i need a straight ans
            I am also attaching whole conversation happened over mail, please read it once

                  Address: Kalyan

                  Illegal deduction by idea on 10/04/2020 at 17:39 hrs with message, "dear customer, you have been charged rs. 8.00 and your current balance is 17.16".

                  Repeated illegal deduction by idea today 31/05/2020 at 16:44 hrs with message, "click this link to see the health benefits pic, http://52.29.118.31:7001/corona/health_benefits01. Jpg. Dial *123# for unlimited fun. Data charges applicable". "dear customer, you have been charged rs. 8.00 and your current balance is 9.16".

                  Nothing was done from my end and deduction took place. This is very bad on part of idea telephonic services looting common people and making money. This type of illegal deduction is done by idea every month and on complaining by us to customer executive; complaint is not registered and also refund for deduction not provided.

                        Hi, i have been trying to port out from idea since yesterday, even visited the idea store but still i cannot generate upc required to port out. Also tried calling the idea customer care but they didn't respond. The message i recieve is, "upc cannot be generated for the reasons: (1) there are subsisting contractual obligations with your service provider. Please contact your service provider for further assistance.". Please help. I feel like they are purposely creating hurdles.
