Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha tweets, "Telecom companies offer Recharge Plans with ‘Daily Data Limits’ like 1.5GB, 2GB, or 3GB per day, resetting every 24 hours. Any Unused Data EXPIRES at midnight, despite being fully paid for. You are billed for 2GB. You use 1.5GB. The remaining 0.5GB disappears as day ends. No refund. No rollover. Just gone. This is not an accident. This is policy. Use it unnecessarily, or lose it by midnight. That’s how mobile data works today. I raised this issue in Parliament - Why should data that we have paid for be FORFEITED? Unused data should carry forward into the next cycle, so consumers can use what they have already paid for..."

Thank you for raising this important issue, @raghav_chadha The fundamental question is: why should individuals be penalized for not maintaining a minimum balance? Those with sufficient financial resources typically maintain multiple accounts with large balances, so such penalties do not affect them. In reality, the burden falls on those who lack adequate funds. It is not a matter of choice, but of compulsion. Individuals such as farmers, pensioners, and daily wage earners often struggle to maintain even the prescribed minimum balance due to their financial constraints. The Government of India has already demonstrated an inclusive approach through the Jan Dhan Yojana, under which a large number of zero-balance accounts were opened between 2014 and 2016. This raises a valid question—why cannot a similar zero-balance framework be extended more broadly across banking services? At present, it is primarily lower-income groups who end up paying these penalties. In effect, the system is collecting fines from those who are least capable of bearing such costs. Financial inclusion should aim to protect and empower vulnerable sections, not impose additional burdens on them. I hope Govt of India will take necessary steps for removing this unnecessary penalty.

Today in Parliament, I delivered a speech titled ’I Do Not Oppose, I Rise to Propose.’ In Parliament today I spoke about three everyday anxieties of ordinary Indians and proposed practical reforms. (1) Allow optional Joint Filing of Income Tax Returns so married couples with uneven incomes are not penalised.* (2) Restore Full Income Tax Exemption on Disability Pensions for all wounded soldiers, not only those invalided out of service.* (3) End penalty charges on bank accounts for not maintaining Minimum Account Balance. I rose to propose solutions that make the system fairer, more humane and more just.

In Parliament today I proposed optional Joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples. Family A Both spouses earn ₹10 lakh each. Total household income is ₹20 lakh. Tax: zero Family B One spouse earns ₹20 lakh. The other stays home to raise their child. Total household income is ₹20 lakh. Tax: ₹1.92 lakh The only difference is how the salary is split between the two spouses. One roof. One kitchen. One household budget. But when tax time comes, the family disappears. The tax system sees two individuals. A husband and wife become strangers. No clubbing of income or rebates. In Parliament today I proposed optional joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples, so families with uneven incomes are not unfairly penalised. If implemented, then Family A and Family B both will pay Zero Tax.

₹19,000 crore. That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’ Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers. From the poorest accounts in the system. Their crime? They didn’t have enough money. A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty. A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty. A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty. The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor. Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances. In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.

🚨 “If your recharge runs out, it makes sense for outgoing calls to be blocked, but blocking incoming calls is arbitrary. As soon as the recharge expires, neither can anyone contact you, nor can essential messages like OTPs reach your phone. In emergency situations, the person becomes helpless” - MP Raghav Chadda.

@ICICIBank @ICICIBank_Care @RBI please kindly clearance for below

Today in Parliament, I raised concerns affecting India’s prepaid recharge customers, who account for nearly 90% of the country’s 125 crore mobile users. (1) If a recharge expires, stopping outgoing calls may be understandable. But why are incoming calls stopped as well? Once validity ends, people cannot be reached, and even essential messages like bank OTPs may not come through. In emergencies or urgent situations, this can leave a person completely cut off. My demands: First is that incoming calls and SMS should continue for at least one year after the last recharge so essential communication does not stop. Second, a mobile number should not be deactivated for at least three years after the last recharge. Third, telecom operators should introduce a low cost “incoming only” plan for users who simply need their number to remain active for essential calls, OTPs and government services. (2) I also raised the issue of 28 day recharge “monthly” plans. If something is called monthly, it should follow the calendar month of 30–31 days. Because of the 28 day cycle, consumers effectively end up paying for 13 recharges in a year. (28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days) Telecom Operators should sync up their Recharge Plans with the true calendar months, and not 28 day plans. A mobile phone today is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Prepaid recharge customers deserve fairness and transparency. Not clever fine print.

The 28-Day “Monthly” Recharge SCAM. I raised this in Parliament today. Telecom companies call their plans “monthly” — but they last only 28 days. That means prepaid users pay for 13 recharges in a year instead of 12. 28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days If it’s monthly, it should follow the actual calendar month. Consumers deserve better. Not these clever tricks.

SHIVAM DUBE TOOK A 5AM TRAIN FROM AHMEDABAD TO MUMBAI: Dube said, “I wore a cap, mask and a full sleeve jersey to cover myself so nobody could recognise me”. Dube boarded the 3rd AC train and moved at the upper berth. Ticket checker came and asked, “ye Shivam Dube Kon hain? Wo cricketer?”. Dube’s wife replied, “nahi nahi, wo yaha kyon aayega”. TC moved on and Dube reached Borivali. (Express Sports).
