Call drops on Idea network due to fault in mobile tower or sites were beyond the quality benchmark in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and North East. State-run BSNL also failed to comply with call drop norms due to mobile tower problem in West Bengal.

Idea network also failed to meet call drop norm due to around network availability parameter in Assam and North East while BSNL also failed to meet the criteria in West Bengal.

Idea also failed in meeting customer service norms like request for closure or termination of services and time taken to refund money to customer after closure of service.

Congestion was found in network of Reliance Jio and BSNL in Rajasthan which led to delay in connecting calls, the report said.
