Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

two years ago , i applied for new landline connection but i didnot get connection as yet.

I M REGULARLY BEING DISTURBED BY UNWANTED SMS SENT BY BSNL Bihar, BV 57070, BV 53030,BV 54000, etc. REPEATATION OF SMS IS TOO FAST THAT IT DISTURBS AND DIVERTS MY MIND. IT IS A MENTAL HARAASHMENT TOWARDS MY ROUTINE WORKS AND IMPORTANT MEETINGS. IF IT IS NOT BEING STOPPED IN NEXT 24 Hrs. I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE HARD ACTION AGAINST THE SAID COMPANY.
MY NUMBER IS [protected] SINCE 2003. SINCE LAST TWO YEARS AVERAGE BALANCE AMOUNT IS MORE THAN Rs.5000/=.
NOT ONLY THAT, DESPITE OF SEVERAL REQUESTS TILL DATE MY 3G & GPRS ARE NOT ACTIVATED.

DEAR SIR,

MY MOBILE NUMBER IS [protected] WITH RS.325/- POSTPAID PLAN. AS PER THE SCHEME IN THIS PLAN THE COMPANY PROVIDES 5 MB OF GPRS USAGE FREE. THE COMPANY IS CHARGING GPRS FIXED MONTHLY CHARGE EXTRA.


SO I THINK THIS IS NOT FARE.

THANK YOU,

Ref: My E-mail dated. 20-08-09 to CMD, copy to you.

Refer to para (f)-should be (g) of your e-letter dated.[protected] which is reproduced.
"f) One free broadband modem (type-1) is granted as a very special case of humanitarian issue. This will be effective from August’09."
Further this has been confirmed by your local telephone exchange and zonal office Alipore

Since as per (f)-should be (g) above free modem takes effect from 01-08-09 necessary reduction has to be reflected in bill for Septr'09 (i.e. period from 01-08.09 to[protected]. Where as record shows as follows:-
May'09 = Rs.552/- Bill received & paid.
June'09 = Rs.552/- Bill received & paid.
July'09 = Rs.552/- Bill received & paid.
Aug'09 = Rs.552/- Bill yet to be received. Web information.
Thus there has been no reduction / change in bill due to implementation of orders mentioned above.

Could to disclose for our information the hidden magic / logic or strategy behind the screen.

All the remaining issues mentioned in letter dated[protected] remains outstanding / unsettled till date which may be noted. Thanks.

To
Shri. Kuldeep Goyal,
Chairman-cum-Mg. Director
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.
New Delhi.
Copy to all Directors / BSNL for kind information and suitable actions as deemed fit.

Dear Sir,
Sub: A formal case "How it looks:-" placed before CMD/BSNL
vide my e-mail dated. 07.02. 2009
Ref: 1) E-mails dt.09 &[protected] from your office in response.
2) My e-mail status report dt.21.03.2009
3) My follow up e-mail weekly status reports dated. 29.03.2009,
04.04.09 & 11.04.09, 18.04.09, 25.04.09*, 02.05.2009*
& 24.05.2009 sent to your office.

Your kind attention is invited to facts brought out vide my e-mail dated 07.03.2009, your reply vide e-mails dated 09 & 10.03.2009 and updated 8 Nos. weekly status report as detailed at above. Situation stands on date are narrated below for your personal information. Hard copy of this letter duly signed will be sent in due course for record. Due to acute physical constraints and inability to move out side well known to you causing delay in sending hard copy by post which may kindly be excused.

1. No reply / clarifications received from concerned CGM / Kolkata (Dr.S.K. Chakravarty <[protected]@bsnl.co.in>) i.e. only competent authority for my case. Issue neglected / ignored / lingered since 12.03.08 and up to 09 / 10.03.2009(interference by your office) made some adjustments in bills to rectify defects. Detail calculation of adjustments made mentioning relevant rules, provision of Act etc asked for vide my weekly status report(No.6) dated 25.04.2009 copy endst to CGM/Kol stands unattended. On receipt of details correlated issues will come up and as such case is not closed. However this clearly shows that this old disabled person is neglected / ignored / otherwise treated.

2. Data one e-mail not working properly right from the beginning. In this respect too many complains lodged with No. QBBNEW & BSNL Portal. [Ref may be seen from letter dated 07.03.09] Department were requested to either rectify defects as needed or let me know if it is a case my faulty operations. Weekly status report to you dated[protected] may kindly be referred to. No action till date. Is it not a case of neglect / ignorance / differential treatment to an old disabled person who cannot move outside freely?

4. Since I am an old aged Hemaparasis Disabled (60%) patient, cannot move freely outside and cannot attend office to office to chase my works, I, under compelled circumstance requested BSNL authority vide Portal reqn. to let me know the e-mail ID's of CAO, AO of Alipore. Since Nov'08 onwards all complains / request made are not attended tantamount to neglected / ignored. (For ready appreciation my photo is annexed hereto)

5. On the eve of WTD-2009 a request was made to CGM to consider some relief to old aged disabled persons. This was subsequently forwarded with a specific request made by a NGO to consider opening a Separate counter to deal only cases for old aged disabled person's cases for redress. Observance of Robindra Joyanti by Telephone office is appreciated but ignorance to considerNGO's proposal for a social welfare works for old age disability & disable is noted.

6. Your specific kind attention is invited to my weekly status report dated 25.04.2009 (7th Report) where in a major differential treatment made to this old aged disabled person by BSNL/Kolkata was indicated. Hope CGM/Kolkata will not hesitate to accept this allegation as a true and I will not require to produce documentary evidence (for both applicant and Mr.X) to establish that a Differential Treatment is made to this old aged disabled person as he cannot move and attend offices to pursue.

7. Recently I have made a specific request to BSNL / Kolkata to ensure BB speed 1400 to 1600kbps as made available to some customers of same locality. In my case I am facing much difficulty as because my BB speed is only 65 to 210kbps. [For ready appreciation copy of letter to BSNL is enclosed]. I am sure local authority will turn down my request on the so called plea of "Technical Problems"etc

Very sorry to encroach your valuable time but I am rather compelled to bring all these aspects to the knowledge of highest authority before it reaches the saturated situation. Thanks. Yours faithfully.

Mr. Kuldeep Goyal, CMD / BSNL
Dr.S.K.Chakroborty, CGM /Kol

I do not think it is necessary to repeat and refer all the correspondences made to CGM / Kol and CMD / BSNL during past fifteen months and make larger this letter.

1) However para 6 of my E-mail dated. 11.06.2009 may please be referred to where in a specific case of differential treatment to this old aged disabled was indicated but till date no confirmation or refute letter received. As such issue is still on.

2) To day i.e. 24.06.09 I have received Tel. Bill for the month of June'09. It is found from the bill in question that a second case of differential treatment to this old aged disabled has taken place. For verification and appreciation please check up bill for the month Feb'09 and June'09 (March'09 to May'09 not referred as these includes rectifications of mistakes made by BSNL but till date details not supplied to me. Comments thereon kept reserved)

Vide actions taken by BSNL Co. as indicated at para 1 of my E-mail dated. 11.06.2009 it is clear that BSNL Co. was at fault but delayed the issue, neglected and treated in difference to this old aged disabled person. Now I am keenly interested to watch the administrative reactions on item (1) & (2) above by you.

Incidentally item 7 of letter dated 11.06.09 though assured, no result till date. Trouble continues.

With best wishes,

Dear Sri. Goyel,

Sub: "How it looks:-" placed before CMD/BSNL

Ref: 1) Your office E-mail dated.[protected]

2) T.S / CGM's office e-mail dated.[protected] to me
copy to CMD & reply there to duly copy endst to you.
3) All the communications made so far to you are available at
your office may please be referred to.

This time your kind personal attention is invited to the entire issue rest with CGM / Kolkata right from 12-03-08 to till date. CGM / Kolkata might have made efforts to solve the issue but it appears that he has no control over his administration as such miserably failed to sort out. [All copies of correspondences are already available with CMD office]

Even interferences by your office in the shape of Post office manner, by just simply forwarding copy of the letter to CGM have however no impact on a decontrolled situation prevailing at CGM’s own office. Again CGM miserably failed (as he has practically no control over his administration) to sort out problems in all respect though digested a default rectified in improper manner & now even hesitant to accept a sue motto proposal given to settle the long outstanding case. However your kind personal attention is invited to my case in respect of matter arising out of letters already available with you / records. Some copies as ATTACHMENT already available with you are sent for ready reference for taking suitable action to close the long standing case. It is however be clearly be noted that unless the undersigned certifies that the case is closed it will be on. Simply departmental clearance will not be treated as case closed.

INCIDENTALLY IT MAY KINDLY BE NOTED THAT THIS IS A CASE OF EXTREME NEGLEGANCE, IGNORANCE AND A DIFFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO AN OLD AGED DISABLED (PWD) SR.CITIZEN BY CGM / BSNL /KOLKATA WHICH HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO YOU.
Thanking you. Yours sincerely,

I used to get bills amounting maximum to Rs.400 , but without using the connection due to the noise problem I still get Rs.500 I also feel that billing is inapt Kindly check the bills for any charges related to cross connection.

What should i do to solve this problem ???

I installed land line connection in the year 2006. Since then my land line is noisy. I made complaint about many times. J.E.& A.E said it can't be repaired it is a line fault. Not a single day it worked properly. I am really dejected. Some time it was very much noisy if i make complaint they will come on their own and they do something noise may be reduced but they won't totally clear the noise. Now my phone is dead for the last 10 days. I made a complaint one week back but still now nobody atteded the fault.(complaint no is[protected]. As they said if it can't be rectified my phone connection may please disconnected. Otherwise I am going to make complaint in the consumer court.

thanking you,

yours sincerely,

Hi

I live in t. Nagar, area in chennai. Bsnl, i agree has got good coverage in india, but the worst part is that the signal is really bad.Inside buildings the signal drop is so bad, that we need to run out to the open to speak to people.

After so many complaints, its still the same. I am sure if bsnl signal problem is not rectified, there are lot of customers who have been using bsnl for so many years, will...

Sir,
i took bsnl cellone 525 plan 3 months ago.this is third time i am going to pay the bill, but the billing amount is too much this time(Rs 2283). i have paid last two bills well within time period.i am talking about the bill for the month of november '09 which is is beyond my understanding. i don't get how i got this amount bcoz i m sure that i havn't use phone so much during this month.plz solve my problem. my cell no. is [protected] and accnt no. is[protected].

I had surrendered my telephone serviceand handset on 26/03/2009 as I transferred to Delhi.Fortunately I took a number from accounts department, for any future communication with BSNL Ballygunge Phari.The accounts person concerned was K k Naskar[protected].They assured me that you will get your refund within 3 months.But as usual govt. attitude they ,till date had not refunded my security deposit.Accounts person had given a telephone number[protected]Mrs.Anuradha Chakravorty)cash dispatch.I called her at least 100 times to send my security money.But this BSNL non-sense persons are not refunding my money.
Is there any way out in this country to fight with such people and get my refund back.

My BSNL prepaid sim's expiry date was 24th oct-o9 but due to my cell phone was damaged due to some damage and i was not able to use my sim also after 10th oct-09 and after repaireing my cell i am surprised to see hat my sim shows zero balance against 5000+
when i talk to customer care he told me we can't do anything your sim valedity period is over
now what should i do?? will my 5000+ money waste???

bsnl broadband: tel[protected]
Amount towards the broadband internet usage has come to Rs: 2722.95 for the Oct-month bill.

We have not used beyond the limit of 1 GB. This billing is unacceptable. Please verify.


Moreover, the usage service records used to be available in the personal account. For last one month its disabled.
Please restore the service sothat we could change the password, at least.

I had purchased a BSNL DATA Card (No.[protected] on 14 Aug 2009 from MK Enterprise, Nagerbazar, Kolkata (BSNL authorised agent). But due to low signal at my residential area, I decided to surrender the said card. I came to know that the the card was purchased from BSNL Office, Salt Lake, by MK Enterprise.I approached BSNL, Salt Lake on 09 Sep 09 for surrender of my card, as MK Enterprise is not willing to come in between. They told me to come after Durga Puja. I again visited BSNL office on 08 Oct 09. I was told by the reception to go to marketing section with an application for surrendering of the card. I approached there. The told me that I had to approach BSNL within one month of purchase of the card and directed to mobile section. From there I was directed to Counter No. 3 for duplicate bill. They told finally on 26 Nov 09 after 08 times visit at BSNL office, that my bill is not yet generated and if I donot show my paid bill, it will not be deactivated. BSNL & I donot know when the bill will be generated but I want that my DATA card may be deactivated immediately, as till date I couldnot open any site by that DATA Card.
My mobile No. is [protected]
