This time also it is going as usual till 18th.But suddenly a stange
thing begins to happen.
The things which are taking only
30-40 Mb usage now starts taking more than 150 MB whether i surf Net for a small
time it takes more usage and in this way my bill is going long & long.

Are u the only one user of your BB ? Have u given your BSNL ID/PW to any of your friend of Computer service engg ?? If it is immediately change your PW in the Dataone.in site.
edit : Also please check the usage time on "service record" in Dataone.in, and compare with your actual surfing time.

Then it may be a virus problem. Do Scan with Kaspersky 30 day trial version.
Another experiment u may do (assume XP OS) when connected to the net and monitor the network status monitor simultaneously download a small file from the net and note down the KB/MB of file and status monitors KB/MB download/upload. Clsoe the net connection.After few munits again connect to the net and check the Dataone.in record usage for the last session and compare it with status monitor's upload/download. The two records more or less will be same.
