ग्राहकलाई थाहै नदिई दैनिक ब्यालेन्स काट्दै एनसेल
एनसेलले यसरी ग्राहकको सहमति बिनै ब्यालेन्स काट्ने गरेको गुनासो आउन थालेको भर्खरै मात्र भने होइन । आजभन्दा एक वर्ष अघिबाटै कम्पनीले यस्तो कार्य गर्दै आएको पाइएको छ । सन् २०१९ जुलाईमा पनि यस्तै सर्भिसको नाममा पैसा काटिएको घटना सार्वजनिक भएको थियो ।

It is not only recently that Ncell has started complaining of cutting the balance without the consent of the customer. The company has been doing this for over a year now. In July 2019, the incident of money being deducted in the name of a similar service was made public.
In the routine of Nepal Bandh, Basant Kumar Dhakal had made public the incident of cutting money in the name of Huawei game content without his knowledge.

However, the incident that was so slow at that time has now come to the surface again. On Monday morning, Ncell user Chandak Nayak has released a screenshot of his daily deduction of Rs 11.49 in the name of Huawei game content.

In the screen shot that he made public, Ncell has deducted 11.49 paisa in the name of Huawei Games content at 8:57 pm on Sunday and the same amount for the second time at 1:37 pm on Monday.
He is posting on Facebook and commenting on his post, others are also taking screenshots saying that they are cutting money from their mobiles in the same way. Another Ncell user, Prasadi Karki, said that the company would activate such services without the consent of the user.
He said, "When you try to understand in the customer service center of the company, when you click on the advertisement, you are asked for it. The answer is that it becomes active only after you say so."

In another screenshot posted, it is seen that 11 rupees 49 paisa has been deducted in the name of business handling fee. Customers who have lost their balance in the name of various game content and business handling have said that they have never used such content and have not even sent any request for it.
Why was the money deducted in the name of a service that the user did not activate and did not use? We tried to talk to a Ncell representative about this. However, the representative said that he would reply only after understanding the issue. (Ncell has sent its response in this regard after the news was published. You can read the response at the end of the news.)
We also contacted Ncell's official Facebook page for more information. When we asked about the regular deduction of money on the Facebook page, Ncell replied that such service has been activated with the active participation of the users.
However, we did not have any information about such a service and we did not find any information about the package of Rs 15.32 on Ncell's website. In the question, it was informed from Ncell that it will be activated by clicking on the banner ad of Huawei App Gallery.
Although Ncell used to send notifications when the balance was deducted from other services it uses, it did not provide any information about the amount deducted, said Nayak. "It simply came to our notice then.
Meanwhile, a screenshot of a conversation with Ncell a year ago has also been found. During the conversation, Ancell replied that this is a three day recovery pack and that there is no update on the pack at the moment and it will happen soon.
At the same time, we studied the pack on Ncell's website. However, even after one year, no information has been mentioned about such packs.
As soon as we received such a reply from Ncell, we contacted the regulator Nepal Telecommunication Authority. NEA Director Vijay Kumar Roy said that NEA was ignorant in this regard.
He said that the NEA has not received any complaint regarding the regular deduction of money from customers for the past one year. "However, if the matter is true, we will take necessary action," he said.

Users are seeing digital ads on Facebook, Android handset's app or Google pages. Once users click the digital ads page, the third party partner's subscription page opens. Which explains in detail the method of charging.
After the service users confirm on the partner's page, Ncell's consent page opens and the user's subscription is confirmed by Ncell. When reconfirming in this way, it is ensured that the user has subscribed to a certain service on such page for a certain fee.
Once this process is complete, the user has three options. There is a confirmation option in one of the options. If the user agrees to all the terms of the company, he must click on the terms button.
The second option is not now. Clicking on it does not cut the balance. Similarly, there is another third option, no action. If you click on it, the user can exit the page. There is no charge.
Ncell has partnered with local and international value-added service providers to provide games, entertainment and utilities. The services provided by such VAS service providers to Ncell users are exclusive and without advertisements.
International digital advertising agencies send digital ads to users' handsets. For example, once users receive an ad, they will see the ads on various platforms, including Facebook and Google, after the Viber and WhatsApp calls have ended.
If anyone wants to avoid these types of subscriptions, they need to read the advertisement notification carefully. Don't click the subscription button. Do not confirm any advertisement without reading it carefully.
Ncell also sends messages and notifications to third party VAS providers before deducting balances, as well as the process of stopping such services.
