How hard is it to cancel Vi (Vodafone Idea)?
Vi (Vodafone Idea) scores 41/100 (grade D) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the IN — a poorly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via phone, in person, email.
To permanently cancel a Vi postpaid connection, customers must visit a Vi store in person or call customer care (199) to submit a termination request; there is no self-serve online cancellation for full connection closure. Termination requests are processed within 7 working days. After disconnection, a final bill is generated and the security deposit is refunded (adjusted for any outstanding dues) via NEFT, UPI, or cheque within up to 60 days. A Safe Custody option is available for postpaid customers wanting to pause service for 1–6 months (renewable up to 12 months) by paying a minimal fee.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
