BSNL users can clear their outstanding
dues by paying half the amount. BSNL Kolkata recently announced this
limited period offer for subscribers with outstanding broadband,
landline bills or post-paid mobile dues. They will in exchange get a ‘No
dues’ certificate. The discounts, however, vary with different
categories of subscribers. The offer lasts until March 31, 2021.
BSNL has divided its customers into five categories. Those who have dues of
up to one year old will not get any discount. The subscribers with bills
which carry a due date of more than a year but less than two years will
get a discount of 10% on their bill.
Bills that are due more than 2 years but
less than 3 years will get a 25% discount on their total outstanding
amount. The discount rises to 30% for subscribers who have a bill with a
due date of more than 3 years but less than 5 years. Those bills that
are due for more than 5 years now will get a discount of 50% on their
total amount.
This offer is for regular subscribers or customers
of the telco and not for government or government enterprises. This
one-time settlement facility is for defaulters whose connections were
disconnected on or before March 31, 2020, due to non-payment of dues.
The
defaulters can pay digitally through NEFT/RTGS online transfer to the
dedicated bank account of BSNL Kolkata or by cash through any of the 20
physical bill collection centres of the telco in Kolkata.
The
offer is meant for BSNL Kolkata to get the cash-flowing by motivating
people to come and make payments. For getting more details of the offer,
users can call at 9433000666.
