    bsnl-broadband-Samadhaan-Scheme

    This scheme was initially launched in 2010 and got great response from Customers across India.  The main reason for excess usage bill complaint is the lack of awareness about the appropriate BSNL Broadband Plans by customers. Customers may select the right plan as per their usage / requirement from a wide variety of plans offered by BSNL.

    To win back such customers, BSNL has decided to re-launch the  one-time Special Relief Scheme ‘SAMADHAAN with the different options as given below. This scheme is applicable to all BSNL telecom circles in India upto 31st October 2015.

    1. Pay Rs. 750/- for excess usage (beyond the admissible limit as per plan) for first 5 GB per Bill and the remaining excess usage (if any) beyond 5 GB @ Rs. 100/- per GB or part thereof per bill. This settlement shall be applicable individually against each disputed bill.
