As we reported earlier, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has revised validity of all existing GSM prepaid mobile Special Tariff Vouchers (STVs) and Combo Vouchers from ‘Days’ to ‘Calendar Days’ with effect from 1st July 2016 on PAN India basis.
This latest revision covers – Voice, SMS, 3G/2G Data, Blackberry, Roaming, Mobile TV, ISD and Combo vouchers except the recently launched Night Data STVs. BSNL already revised the validity of its prepaid 3G/2G data packs to Calendar Days with effect from 1st May 2016.
Validity in Calendar Days means – while counting the validity of an STV, the Day of Recharge (irrespective of time) also will be counted as ONE DAY. If a customer is activating a new 3G data pack of Rs 78 having 5 days validity on today (01-07-2016) at 2 PM, the data pack will expire on Fifth day i.e., on 05-07-2016.

One of the worst idea or a blunder from bsnl. Changing validity to calendar day means customer have to wait till 12am and recharge to get full utilisation of it especially for recharges valid for 1day,2 day etc.
