WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MOBILE BILL IS NOT PAID

Besides paying for a rooftop over your head and keeping the lights on, a phone bill is presumably the highest priority on your list as an "essential" month to month cost. If you don't pay your cell phone bill, your record will go into overdue debts. Your telecommunication company could cut your telephone off so you can't make or get calls. If steps are not taken, chances are that you don't find a way to manage the debts, your record will default and the agreement will be dropped. The telecommunications companies would then be able to make a move to recover the extraordinary bill, following the ordinary debt collection process.
Your inability to settle your month to month mobile bills won't make you criminally liable, for this is the only breach of what you and the telecommunications organization have settled upon.
Unpaid bill process by the companies
At the point when a bill has been sent to you, however, the payment is not done by the date there will be following strategy taken by the telecommunication industries:
·         If the bill is not paid by end of the month a reminder will be sent by the company to pay the bill on a due date.
·         If after the due date the payment is not received, the telecommunication company will disconnect your mobile service and it will not reconnect until the full payment of the outstanding bill is done.
·         If the payment is done through cheque, payment will be considered to be gotten when the cheque is received at the company’s office.
·         Restoring services may be chargeable- reactivation
·         We maintain all authority to charge a late payment fee.
·         If the payment of the outstanding amount is not completed then the contract will be terminated and legal action will be started to recuperate the debt.
·         In some cases passing of the remarkable sum (counting any late payment or interest charges) to a debt-collecting office to gather the cash for the company.
·         Data about debt might be imparted to different associations that give credit.

Step by step process
1.      Barring
At the point when more than 2 bills stay pending, the service gets barred. That is, you won't have the capacity to use any of the Chargeable services provided by the company. You get various warning and demands and calls from them to pay them the bill. Once you pay the bill services resumes within 30 minutes of payment. Regardless of whether you guarantee to pay, they will continue services for the next 72 Hours.
2.      Suspending
All services including free services of your number like incoming calls will be banned and the number will be disconnected. You get calls and request to the other number or your email address which you have submitted to them. Services resume within 48 hours of payment and when payment is done in full. Regardless of whether you guarantee to pay, they will continue services for the next 72 Hours.
3.      Disconnection
When the service to the number gets permanently disconnected, it won't continue regardless of whether payment is done in full as the number is permanently disconnected. You will have to go through all procedure of taking another connection like you have gone through in the beginning. There is no guarantee that the same number would be allotted to you.
4.      Recovery 1
Attempts like calling the client in their alternative number which he enlisted, sending Emails and notwithstanding going to the client at his address will be done on various circumstances. Eventually, they will attempt to take out any sum which they can. That is, for instance, if you have 3200 Rs charge pending, They will call up you and begin negotiation, beginning from 3000. They will state to from pay Rs3000 and give an offer of waiving off Rs 200 and to resume service within 4 hours of payment. Most fix a sum and pays. Yet, services won't continue.
5.      Recovery 2
Here, another group experiences the CDR (call detail record) of the client. Takes out a few numbers which client has called frequently and make calls to those number and mention to them thatYour (companion/sibling/sister/child/father) has not paid the bill and influenced a major debt to xx company and mention of taking a legal action on them.
6.      Recovery 3
Their legal counsel calls in any of your number which you use now or relative, companion or anybody and will request that you make payment at any of the closest companies stores or they will send you a legal notice. Due date this time will be short and the will act to be a little rude.
7.      Legal Notice
To the address which you have enrolled while taking a connection, they will send a legal notice. More often than not, they don't continue to encourage except if it's a major sum or something unique is connected. As your PAN is included, your credit score in CIBIL goes down if the companies have tied up with CIBIL.

COMPENSATION TO STATES UNDER GST

The implementation of GST as the sole indirect tax in place of the earlier multiple taxation legislations has reasonably raised a probability of States losing a part of their revenue from tax, in response to which the Centre has enacted the Compensation to States Act[i] along with the principal Acts of GST.[ii] Here we analyze the provisions relating to the said Act, to get a brief picture of how the scheme will be put to effect.
The Act intends to provide for compensation to the States for the loss of revenue arising on account of implementation of the goods and services tax. For the purposes of calculation and determination of the compensation amount, the Base year revenue of the State is calculated in accordance with the Act. The base year revenue for a State is the sum of the revenue collected by the State and the local bodies during the base year, on account of the taxes levied by the respective State or Union net of refunds with respect to the taxes subsumed into GST such as VAT, Sales tax, Purchase Tax, entry tax, octroi, local body tax, etc. The projected revenue for any year in a State is to be calculated by applying the projected growth rate over the base year revenue of that State, and the projected growth rate has been fixed at 14%.
Compensation under the Act is payable to any State during the transition period, and the calculation and release is to be done at the end of every two months, and an annual final calculation is made at the end of every financial year by the CAG. Any excess amount released to any State during a financial year will be adjusted against the compensation in the subsequent financial year.
The manner of calculation of the loss of revenue is also elaborated as:
·         The projected revenue that could have been earned by the State in absence of the goods and services tax till the end of the relevant two months period of the respective financial year shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis as a percentage of the total projected revenue for any financial year during the transition period[iii].
·         The actual revenue collected by a State till the end of relevant two months period in any financial year during the transition period will be the actual revenue from State tax collected by the State, net of refunds given by the State; the integrated goods and services tax apportioned to that State, as certified by the Principal Chief Controller of Accounts of the Central Board of Excise and Customs; and any collection of taxes levied by the said State, under the Acts specified in sub-section (4) of section 5, net of refund of such taxes[iv].
·         The provisional compensation payable to any State at the end of the relevant two months period in any financial year shall be the difference between the projected revenue till the end of the relevant period and the actual revenue collected by a State in the said period reduced by the provisional compensation paid to a State till the end of the previous two months period in the said financial year during the transition period[v].
In case no compensation is due to be released in any financial year, or any excess amount has been released to a State in the previous year, the State is bound to refund the same to the Centre. Every taxable person making a taxable supply of goods or services or both is bound the pay the Cess and furnish Returns to the Authorities as required. The Cess amounts collected under the Act is to be deposited into the Goods and Services Tax Compensation Fund, which is a part of the public account of India, and all the payments of compensations under s. 7 are to be made from this Fund.
