From what I've heard Airtel is auto deducting 35 Rs. from the main balance every 28 days to activate this voucher at the completion of current plan validity. When the main balance falls below 35 then the outgoing will stop at the end of last plan validity and incoming will stop after a grace period of 15 days and then the number will be permanently deactivated and reissued to new user.

It is mandatory for every user to extend validity with minimum 35rs recharge whether it is 2G/3G/4G phone. Data balance will go waste if you don't use but you will get 26rs as Talktime for 28 days

Better go for Jio phone . In 49 rs you will have unlimited calling for one month . Incase of other operators , with 35 recharge , 26rs amount won't be sufficient for 1 month at 1.5rs/ min calling rate .
 
Trai need to do some thing. Otherwise we will not use 2 network or dual sim. They have started playing games

I don't understand why TRAI needs to be involved. This kind of plan was introduced by Jio first. There's no lifetime plans in Jio. Because of jio we are enjoying many benefits. But operators are facing huge losses. Let them see at least 1 rupee profit in the next few quarters.
 
Rs119=UNLIMITED Local, STD and Roaming calls along with 1GB data and 300 SMS for 28 days.
To get the offer, visit Airtel retailer.
 
My only concern now is if i dont recharge with minimum and get deactive and they give my number to other person then i have to visit bank, gst bhavan, income tax office and other such place to change my new number where my old number is register to get OTP.....so now only option is recharge the number with minimum pack so its in active mode or change number in various instuition so that i get otp on my new number....

As you sow so shall you reap . These are the same those operators who looted us with around 300rs for 2gb 2g net plan. Had they not looted us , the mass migration to Jio would have never been happened

At least we Indians are lucky. Currently I am studying in Singapore. For 1GB, 30 days, the price is SGD10 (INR550) on Singtel. For 3GB, SGD20. This is called looting.
