Samsung — IMEI showing Null

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi

Hi Team, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT - I9500 on 08th Sept 2014 (still under Warranty). I have got an issue with the IMEI no. showing as Nill/Null (as per the Samung Service Centre in Model Town - III). I went to this service centre & they said that there will be a charge of INR 9, 000 as there is some technical issue in the phone. I haven't had any issues with the phone earlier so have not gone to any outside shop or market. Would like to know if Samsung India could have this issue sorted out FREE OF COST as the phone is still under Warranty of 1 Year. Your urgent attention & reply to this mail would be much appreciated.
