Recently i moved to a different location and unfortunately there was no option for BSNL connection as the resident association it seems had refused BSNL due to the latter's inability to provide requisite free intercom connection to the security guarding each block. So i thought of surrendering the connection and getting back the advance amount. I was surrendering in J P Nagar, Bangalore. The procedure was simple as mentioned below:
- You need to give an application of surrender in CSC of BSNL. In Jayanagar 4th Block, the office behind the CSC on the 9th Main road (https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/BSNL+Telephone+Exchange/@12.9250648,77.5766183,15z/data=!4m5!1m2!2m1!1sBSNL+jayanagar!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0xd95f46f1640f888f) connecting Jayanagar bus stand to 24th Main road.
- Then you will get a form which needs to be filled and it also include details on your IFSC code of the bank where money need to be transferred as well as present address.
- After the form is signed in the First floor and getting a seal you need to submit in the accounts section. They will in turn adjust the pending amount and give a note on what is the amount of refund.
- Though IFSC code was provided i got a cheque sometime back in the address mentioned in the form.
- This can be submitted to the bank to get your pending amount. The whole process took around 2 months.
- One aspect i found was that they gave me a corporation bank cheque and i could drop in any branch of SBI (where i have an account in some other town) and it got credited to my account. The whole process of dropping the cheque was made automatic with a scanned copy of the cheque and receipt details provided to you for tracking.
Hope it helps some of you.
