If it's cheaper then take it, you will get more benefits. The above incident happened when payment was made through cheque.

If I'm not incorrect, wouldn't that plan's final price end up more like 549 + 18% GST [98.82] = 647.82 per billing cycle?

I don't trust or expect Airtel (or any other large company for that matter -- Jio, Vodafone, KFC, Dominos, PVR, Bookmyshow, etc, would be only a few to name) to be ethical enough to display beforehand the final prices of services offered to their customers. There is almost always a catch (be it either GST or Internet Service Charges or Delivery Charges or Packaging Charges, etc, to name a few). Somehow their final prices are almost always higher than that of their advertised prices

Someone recently mentioned the following regarding Airtel data usage statistics.

If you use data service till 11:50pm they'll reduce the data limit of next day

Is this true? Has anyone experienced this?
