Hi,
I am in my native due to COVID 19, Can I submit a safe custody request to nearby BSNL office? Actually my fiber connection is in Bangalore. Is it possible? Please let me know.
I have been charged an amount of Rs 4k, just for installation of FTTH(Fiber based connection). Is it genuine?
Mine is charging ₹6500, Isn’t there any guidelines issued for the installation charges, I don’t even have other options than to buy Bharat fiber.
My cousin said he was charged 6500 but the local BSNL office stated 4500, We need some clarity on the breakup of changes and the seeming variation.

When I contacted your Broadband service provider, your sales guy is asking for 2500 Rs for installing the broadband, I don’t see any such charges on online, can you please give me more information on this.
Prashant
Ask him about the details of deposit, and the fees to be paid, the maximum charges to be paid are
1. Broadband Security deposit (Rs.500 if plan is 500 plan)
2. Now Installation free.
3. Telephone Instrument charges to be included in first bill (if required)
4. Bharat Fiber ONT Rent in first bill (If connection is FTTH other wise not required)
It means, any customer has to pay only Broadband security deposit as per the plan only, there is no requirement of extra charges payment, if having any problem, please complaint to higher authorities Public Grievance portal in online.

Thank you
Prof Rangamnatbh.
Can I surrender my BSNL mobiles for safe custody, as I am leaving for the USA and stay there for a period of Five months.
Safe Custody for Mobile services is not available.
It is to suggest that, just recharge with Rs.36 for three months validity on expiry from anywhere in the world, and If you are a postpaid customer, just migrate to prepaid and recharge with validity.
Please approach your area BSNL CSC/Commercial section and submit your written request for BSNL Safe custody from required date.
Is it possible to request safe custody feature via selfcare portal and does a request for safe custody will cover the Broadband also.
No sir
