What is the big deal? What 'installation charges' BSNL says as waived off is to be paid to the franchisee/LCO off-record (no receipt/bill). It is funny though that both BSNL website and app says no amount should be paid to anybody as installation charges. If you want FTTH you have to pay up.
Yah same. Here in Thrissur today I asked for a new ftth connection and they ask me the 1500 + 19% GST
Please help me what to do
