So few days ago I went to VI mini store to port my number with voter ID, surprisingly they said only Aadhaar is allowed.
I had to return, tweeted, emailed to CS, and appellate authority, a week later after some reps saying go to a bigger store, third party retailer, other IDs are also valid etc. today I got email from their CS stating Aadhaar is mandatory, see screenshot.
Is it even legal? AFIK, as per Jio and VI's website other govt IDs, definitely voter ID is accepted for kyc. I know even TRAI says so but can't find the document, can anyone help find any resource from the regulators?
VI's own website contradicts their response: Acceptable Documents for Indian Nationals | Vi
Mind you this is near Kolkata, not some sensitive border state.
I want to pursue this for their deviousness. I am not comfortable tossing my Aadhaar here and there when I have other options.
Thanks for your inputs
