There is a specific application which you can get from your exchange. Fill it and get it attested from your father's office by a competent authority. Give it to the BSNL office. That is all. You are eligible for 20 % discount.

Are you sure ?

The application should be marked

If on plain paper , ( with a copy for own reference with
receipt by BSNL CC )
this instruction is unnecessary.
 
Thx guys. Will apply this week and change my plan to Home-1000. My parents do a lot of video chatting and my existing 2.5gb limit on Home500 is not sufficient.So will get a Home-1000 for Rs.800. Thats quite good.

When I applied, I was told to give the application in a specific form. I think it is the same for all circles. May be they also allow application in plain paper.

Precautions during BSNL Broadband Plan Change
 
you could go for a UL750 plan.. you have to pay 750rs and you get unlimited usage.. but only 256kbps which is frankly speaking good enough for audio/video conferencing
 
But i even download a lot. I was on UL900 (back when it was Rs.900) for about 2 years. The problem is i will have to switch in my pc for the whole day to download 2-2.2gb. One more thing to consider is the frequent power cuts. I wont be around to restart my pc again during the day. But now with a link-removed premium account and a Home 500 plan i download about 4gb during those 6 hrs. Even on torrents i get speeds upto 180-200kbps in private trackers.
