Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Airtel Fiber for failure to provide internet services and for causing mental harassment due to repeated unresolved complaints since a month

Despite being a prepaid subscriber with an advance rental paid for four months, I have not had any internet service from Airtel Fiber for the past six days. I have made over 50 calls to Airtel customer care, and each time I am told the issue will be resolved within four hours—yet no action has been taken.

The customer care responses have been repetitive and robotic, including statements such as:
“Sorry for the inconvenience,”
“Give us one last chance,”
“It will be fixed in 4 hours,”
“We are escalating the issue,”

This ineffective support and the lack of accountability have caused significant mental distress. Moreover, I received two SMS messages falsely claiming the issue had been resolved, when no action was taken.



This outage has directly impacted my ability to work and has resulted in professional setbacks. The lack of service, combined with the false assurances and negligence from Airtel, has led to both financial and emotional strain.

Relief Sought:
Compensation for mental harassment and loss of work due to service outage.

Dear @venkeykotha777

We have carefully reviewed your grievance regarding the delay in installation of your Airtel Wi-Fi connection, the unresponsiveness of customer support, and the subsequent mental distress caused. Your detailed account, including the payment transaction on 20 July 2025 and a commitment of same-day installation, clearly reflects deficiency in service and unfair trade practice.


Recommended Course of Action​


1. Retain all relevant documents:
  • Transaction proof (₹2,355.28)
  • Screenshots or communication logs regarding the installation promise
  • Call logs, messages, or email correspondence following the failure to install

  • Immediate installation of the service or a full refund of ₹2,355.28
  • Compensation for mental harassment—suggested range: ₹5,000–₹10,000
  • A definitive response within 15 days of receipt

3. Email the Nodal Officer for your region (details available on Airtel’s official grievance redressal section).

4. National Consumer Helpline (NCH): Register at [consumerhelpline.gov.in] or call 1800-11-4000 / 14404.

    • District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (since claim < ₹50,000)
    • You may claim:
      • Refund of ₹2,355.28
      • Compensation for harassment (₹10,000–₹15,000)
      • Litigation costs (₹1,000–₹2,000)



5. Prepare a formal complaint including:
  • Sequence of events and dates
  • Supporting documentation
  • A precise demand for refund, compensation, and relief
