its shown wrongly ..shud be positive ..negative means u can still use that many MBin the program they must have did (used MB - allowed mb) ..hence its printing negative.

the 'Monthly Balance Usage' shows the amount of MB's chargeable. the negative sign is there because your package has that much free MB's left. so as long as it is negative (or zero) you wont be charged anything extra. if it goes positive, it will be charged per MB with whatever rate is applicable according to your plan.

It Never Goes Positive. Either - ve or 0.
if it is zero, be sure to check total at the session history

^im not sure if it goes positive or not, but i assume it should if you cross your monthly limits.

What is seen in your telephone bill other than fixed charges ?Will BSNL pay you for the negative reading?Have they shown credit ? Forget it . If you have not used your full bandwidth in a month , it is not carried forward ( similar to free telephone calls for a month ). Use a Data meter.
