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.

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.
My demands are clear:
𝟏. 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲-𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝/ 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬
All telecom operators should provide Rollover of Unused Data. What remains unused at the end of the day, should be added to the next day’s Daily Data Limit, not erased the moment validity ends.
𝟐. 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬
If a consumer consistently under-utilises their data over multiple cycles, there should be a mechanism for Adjustment or Discount of that value, from the following month’s Recharge Amount. Consumers should not repeatedly pay for capacity they do not use.
𝟑. 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 & 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬
Unused data should be treated as the consumer’s digital property. Users should be allowed to transfer their unused data to others, from their Daily Data Limit, just as transfer money to others.
As we build a Digital India, access cannot depend on data that disappears.
If you’ve paid for it, it should carry forward and remain yours to use.
