Vodafone cut off this man's phone over 98p dues; how he reacted will startle you

What happens when a telecommunication service provider stops your phone service over outstanding dues of 98 paise? Yes, you read it right, 98 paise. Most people would generally frown at such an incident, and make angry calls to the company or write nasty posts on social media. But, a resident of Morbi played it cool when the incident happened with him, and this has led him to find a place in a record book.

Morbi resident Sandip Raval, who is connected with ceramic industry for several years, was in for a shock when Vodafone disconnected his services over outstanding dues of 98 paise. The incident happened last year.

“I was using Vodafone postpaid, but I later converted into prepaid. Maybe due to some technical reason, Vodafone stopped my service over dues of 98 paise. To get the phone services restored, I went to the company’s store and cleared the dues by making cash payment of one rupee. The company deducted the outstanding dues of 98 paise and sent me a cheque of 2 paise, ie 0.02 rupees, in August 2017,” Raval told Zee 24 Kalak.

Raval’s ‘feat’ has led him to find a place in the India Book of Records in the category of “Smallest Ever Amount Cheque Payment Made”.

Raval said that the cheque of 2 paise paid to him was the smallest ever by a multinational company like Vodafone.
