After a week of hectic parleys between myself and the customer care over at Hutch (Re: My talktime woes) when there was no apparent response from their side, I shot off a curt email to the Appellate authority for AP Division. Making no bones about the whole issue, I placed all the details that I had at my disposal and laid bare my frustrations. I was suitably rewarded a few hours later as the representative called me up and acknowledged their blooper and apologized for the same. The recharge amount that was due to me was duly credited into my account and the validity of the account was extended up to the actual validity period 
It reminded me of that Hindi adage: Der aaye durust aaye! which I suppose is the same as Better late than never! Ultimately I got the talktime I deserved and at the end of it all, both parties are happy. They’ve retained their customer and I’ve got my talktime. Alls well that ends well
