How long does Airtel cancellation take?

Postpaid and broadband cancellations take 7 working days after the mandatory verification call, which itself comes 24–48 hours after you submit the request. Total timeline is typically 8–10 days from initial request.

Will I get a refund for unused days?

Postpaid: No refund for unused billing period. Broadband security deposit is refunded within 30–45 working days after device return and final bill clearance, via UPI or bank transfer. Online recharges can be refunded via airtel.in/onlinerefund within 10–15 working days.

Can I port my number to another carrier instead of cancelling?

Yes — SMS 'PORT' to 1900 to initiate Mobile Number Portability (MNP). This is often faster and simpler than a formal disconnection, and your number moves to the new carrier automatically.

What if Airtel marks my request as resolved but doesn't cancel?

This is a documented issue. Always save your Service Termination Number (STN). Escalate to the Airtel Nodal Officer via airtel.in/contact-us, or file a complaint at the National Consumer Helpline (1800-11-4000). Contacting @airtelindia on Twitter/X reportedly gets faster resolution.

Can I reactivate my Airtel number after cancellation?

Prepaid: Recharge the same number within the dormancy window (typically 90 days) to reactivate. Postpaid: Must go through a new sign-up process; the number may be reassigned if enough time has passed.

What happens to bundled OTT subscriptions (Hotstar, Apple Music) when I cancel?

Bundled OTT services cease when your Airtel plan is cancelled or you port out. OTT add-ons purchased separately via the Airtel Thanks 'Digital Store' can be cancelled independently through the app without cancelling your main connection — go to Digital Store, find the subscription, and cancel it.

Open Airtel Thanks App and go to Help

Open the Airtel Thanks app and log in with your registered mobile number. Tap the 'Help' icon in the bottom-right corner of the home screen.

Navigate to Raise a Request

In the Help section, follow the path: Mobile → Postpaid (or Broadband) → Account and Billing → Others → 'Raise a Request'. For broadband, navigate to Help & Support → Broadband → Disconnection.

Submit disconnection request

Type your disconnection message clearly stating you want to permanently cancel your connection. Submit the request. Alternatively, email 121@in.airtel.com from your registered email with your full name, address, and mobile number to disconnect — this method has fewer retention attempts.

Wait for verification call

Airtel will call you within 24–48 hours from customer care for verification. This is mandatory and cannot be skipped. During the call, you may be transferred to a 'Retention' team who will offer discounts or plan changes — decline firmly if you wish to proceed.

Clear outstanding dues

Pay any pending balance or final bill during or after the verification call. Disconnection cannot proceed with unpaid dues. Ask the agent for a final bill statement.

Save your Service Termination Number (STN)

After verification, Airtel will send a Service Termination Number (STN) via SMS or email. Save this as proof of your cancellation request. The actual disconnection completes within 7 working days.

Return devices (broadband only)

If cancelling Xstream Fiber broadband, return the modem/router, ONT device, and any set-top box to your nearest Airtel store. Always collect a receipt as proof of return — non-return penalties range from ₹1,500 to ₹3,000+.
