If any user failed to do the recharge, then the outgoing call and data facility of that number will be blocked temporarily. Each user will get a grace period of 15 days to recharge then. During this time, incoming call facility will be available. Again if the user didn’t recharge in the 15 days time, then the incoming call facility also will get barred. All the service will get restored once the recharge is done. However, the telecom companies didn’t mention whether they disconnect the number if user didn’t do the recharge even after 15 days.
As per the TRAI’s statement, if the balance remained in the account of any user is above the minimum recharge pack, then the telecom company cannot disconnect the mobile number even if they didn’t do any recharge.
Each telecom company introduced minimum recharge pack starting from Rs.34 and Rs. 35 to keep the service active. We will check the list of available minimum recharge packs under Rs. 100 and its benefits.

If any body is able to keep Airtel or Vodafon or any other while visiting abroad for message purposes with minimum recharge as the phone is needed for OTP etc and for how long.
Just recharge for Rs. 35 in every 2 months, you can use your SIM abroad for receiving SMS. Or topup for Rs. 200 or Rs. 500, so that Rs. 24 will be deducted every month and your sim will be active all the time.
