‘Wrong’ billing irks BSNL subscribers in
Kalka, Pinjore
Kalka, October 22 Earlier, the billing department was interpreting the details of every call, but in the current bill the details are missing. Only number of calls has been written on the bill, which is insufficient for the subscribers. Some of the subscribers also alleged that the BSNL was also imposing the amount of the last bill in the current bills, which was already paid. They said that despite repeated requests for the correction of excess bill, the department has taken no initiative to rectify the bill amount, which is pending for more than six months. The subscribers further alleged that the government employees, who were entitled to get 20 per cent discount on the broadband plan, were deprived of the discount. Ashwani Aggarwal, a BSNL subscriber of Kalka, alleged that he was given a bill of two months in March, 2010. His bill has not been corrected despite repeated online complaints. One of the subscribers also alleged that on his telephone bill of Rs 50, Rs 50 had been imposed as tax. Meanwhile, 10 per cent tax is taken on the total bill.
