Your consumer rights in India

Basic rights to expect

Indian consumers have the right to fair treatment, accurate billing, and transparent contract terms under the Consumer Protection laws and related regulations.

How to escalate in India

• If a provider (including foreign providers operating remotely) fails to honour cancellation or refund commitments, preserve records and consider filing a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 with your local consumer forum.
• For telecom services in India, regulatory mechanisms include TRAI rules and grievance redressal paths; keep copies of written complaints and escalation attempts when filing with regulators or consumer courts.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers report helpful and knowledgeable support staff and generally reliable connections with rare outages. Individual reviews highlight attentive agents and satisfactory technical help.

Negative feedback

Other reviewers report recurring connection problems, low speeds, and frequent modem resets. Common criticisms include long wait times, unfulfilled promises, billing disputes, and frustrations with hardware charges.

Documentation checklist

Before you call or email

• Account holder name and proof of identity (as required by Teksavvy).
• Account number or customer ID and service address.
• Exact date you want service to end (you may request cancellation up to 30 days ahead).

When preparing returns and follow-up

• Keep serial numbers and condition photos of any hardware you return.
• Retain tracking numbers, written confirmation of cancellation, and copies of all emails or chat transcripts.

Common mistakes

Trying to cancel via wrong channels

Example: requesting cancellation through the App Store, Google Play, or the MySavvy portal. Teksavvy explicitly states those channels will not effect cancellations.

Always cancel by phone or email as the account holder and get written confirmation.

Missing hardware deadlines

Example: returning modem after 30 days and expecting a full refund. Hardware returned after 30 days incurs a $25 restocking fee, and no refund is issued after 90 days.

Check return timelines carefully to avoid losing refunds or incurring fees.
