I think: A Simple Application and Money to BSNL will do this for you ;)

Just write an application stating very clearly that you've got home 250 plan and you want it changed to home 500. A demand draft of Rs. 500 is also required, in my opinion.

Well when I switched from HOME 750UL to HOME 1350UL. application was all that was needed, no extra charges or money to be paid as the plan is changed on first of next month and they bill accordingly. 8)

All you need is an application mentioning H500C inplace of H250.
Thats it.

An application will do...from the next month onwards you'll get your new net connection

Actually you should have asked the BSNL people as the process is evidently simple.
but since you have asked let me tell you something. when you apply for the change, the plan may change from the middle of next month, but if you want to avoid any complications, start using it from the month after that. I say this because even though the plan changes in the middle, they bill you on your old plan. then you will have to run around to get your bill corrected.
i am not the only one who has faced this, there are many others who have got bills above Rs. 50000

Well , I have another query.

Last year, I had paid Rs 2500 for a year's broadband connection.This is the last month of the one year period. So, if I write an application to change the broadband plan, will they bill for the whole year at one go or will they charge Rs 500 from my telephone bill every month ?

Man there is nothing special abt application...as someone said...write the application to the commercial officer...and a simple letter stating "change the broadband offer from -------- to ----------" thats it...thank you...give it to ur telephone exchange..

Just a thing of caution ..give it before or on 28th...30th is too late...they wont accept

BTW i have changed my offer 7-8 times in 3 years soo i am experienced:p

I wanted to know, that if I want to go for the "Annual discounted option to customers", do I have to write something extra in the application???? Cause the BSNL commercial officer is not receiving my phone call:x:x:x.
DAMN BSNL OFFICIALS:x:x

There's nothing special to be done.. Just write a letter stating the change from Home 250 to Home 500C clearly and submit it at your nearest exchange. FOr Home 500C plan you will have to pay a one month's security deposit i.e., Rs. 500/- Make sure that you give your application before the end of the month because the change of plan takes effect from the first of next month... For HOME500 there is no security deposit needed. Only the combo plans need security deposit to be paid.. Make sure that you legibly write the plan to which you want to migrate..because I faced a problem ...although I wrote Home500 he mistook it as Home500C and was demanding me for the security deposit and he took 2 months to change my plan.... So.. other than clearly mentioning in the letter... tell him by word of mouth clearly the plan you want coz...there are three plans at Rs500/- , Home500, Home500C and Home500C+

Guys,

If someone used BSNL only for internet, No FREE Calls needed. Night unlimited 2 Mbps is MUST.

Which is better plan ? 500, 500C, 500C+ ?

ok I will diffrentiate...I assume u have one india plan of Rs.180 rent

Home 500 2.5gb night unlimited effective price 180+500=680
Home 500c 1.5 gb night unlimited but effective price is 180+320=500 as 180 is normal rent for phone + u get 175 calls free....take it as 50+Rs.125 talktime free
Home 500c+ 2.5gb night unlimited effective price 180+ 420=600 but only 50 calls free

Home 500c is the most efficient....but as I exceed 1.5 gb easily during daytime I prefer 500c+

You did the math wrong. See, there is no rental if you take 500c or 500 c+

So for 500c, effective charges are= 500-(180+125)=Rs 195 !!!!
FOr Home 500 c+ effective charges are=(600-180)=Rs 420

^^^^^

Man, the telephone rental and 175 free calls are already included in the HOME 500c!!!!!

When I had HOME 250, total price was 250+rental(180)=420
Now when I take home 500, its Rs 500(broadband+rental)
Now home 250 only had 50 free calls.

But HOME 500 c has 125 calls extra.
So Home 500= Rs 500-125= 375, which is actually less than Home 250.
