I had checked with the officer at the CSC in Trivandrum , who confirmed that 5GB data is free on GPRS/3G.
However, it seems that 3G data is charged !

--> 5 GB available on 2G . Check using *124*1#

Do confirm if others have the same ?

However, you need to pay for the 3G .. i.e. the 120/- for enabling 3G on the SIM.

this is not correct. you just need to pay Rs.59/- for 3G SIM and choose any FRC that is listed at: :: BSNL 3G :: Prepaid
I got my number ported from Airtel to BSNL 3G. I paid SIM charges of 59 and FRC 58 for [email protected] plan. you will get 125/- as your balance.
