i just got my bsnl BB last month. I am on rs 650/pm unlimited plan. i haven't paid anything other than the land phone's cost which is rs 300 or rs 350.
you need to purchase a modem to get internet. just router is not enough.
uld combo 800 dose not include your monthly phone charge. i would either suggest uld 950 which has 4mbps until 8gb .or uld 900 with 2mbps until 8gb .

then you are fine. you dont need to purchase modem.
tax is 12.5 % afaik and 10% discount to government employees is also available.
