Hussain Shareef<\/a> holds an Airtel<\/a> prepaid number and often recharged it for Rs 49. On August 4, 2021 the talk time on his sim was exhausted. With his daily work disrupted, Shareef on August 7, 2021, topped up his Rs 49 plan with Rs 20. The online recharge was completed and he received a talk time of Rs 14.95, which was confirmed through an SMS on his phone. But much to his dismay, his incoming and outgoing calls remained barred and he soon received another text saying the Rs 20 recharge for the prepaid service was invalid.

The Bengalurean reached out to Airtel’s customer care and was informed the Rs 49 plan which he’d been using for a while was suspended and he must opt for the Rs 79 plan for his phone to be activated. An enraged Shareef approached Airtel representatives in Bengaluru, but got poor response. Realising the service provider didn’t plan to refund him Rs 20 remitted towards prepaid recharge, Shareef approached Bangalore Rural and Urban 1st additional district consumer disputes redressal forum at
Shantinagar<\/a> with a complaint against Bharti Airtel, alleging deficiency in service.

In a litigation that commenced last November, the Bengaluru customer presented his case on his own. He raised a query as to how Airtel’s system could receive the sum when there was no such plan and a recharge wasn’t possible.

Despite the customer sending a legal notice to Bharti Airtel, the firm remained absent throughout the court proceedings and was considered ex parte. Following almost five months of litigation, judges of the Bengaluru consumer court noted that from the email correspondence between the customer and the service provider, it was evident that Airtel had accepted receiving Rs 20 and also informed the customer that there was no validity for the said amount and that he has to pay Rs 79 to reactivate this prepaid account. “When this is taken into consideration, it is the bounden duty of Airtel to refund Rs 20 to the complainant, which it failed to do. Hence, there is deficiency in service on part of the service provider and unfair trade practice in retaining Rs 20, which is the customer’s money,” the court said.

In a verdict pronounced on April 5, 2022, Bharti Airtel Limited was directed to refund Rs 20 to the customer, apart from paying him Rs 500 towards damages and an additional Rs 500 towards court expenses.
