How to Temporarily Deactivate Tata Sky Account or Subscription

Last Updated on March 5, 2022 by Amar Ilindra 3 Comments

Tata Sky, one of the popular DTH providers in India now lets you deactivate your Tata Sky account or subscription temporarily. The new temporary account suspension option is very handy and saves a lot of money.

The traditional local dish networks work on a postpaid model which lets you use their service and collect the amount at the end of the month. But Tata Sky is a prepaid model where you recharge your Tata Sky account with any amount you like and money will be deducted every day. Your account will remain active until your account balance becomes zero.

This postpaid model of Tata Sky and deducting money daily has a lot of advantages. You can change the packs, add or remove channels anytime and you will be charged accordingly without waiting for next month’s billing cycle. This gives you a lot of control over your account.

Why Should You Suspend Tata Sky Account Temporarily?

The balance in your Tata Sky account will be deducted daily no matter if you watch the TV for 1 hour or 24 hours a day. Even though you are not switching on the set-top box for the entire day, the amount will be deducted for the day. This sounds fine if you are not using the Tata Sky service for a couple of days randomly in a month.

But what if your TV needs repair or you are going on a vacation or preparing for exams where you know in advance that you will not use the DTH for a lot of days.

Do you need to pay daily?

No, you can temporarily suspend your Tata Sky account to save money. When you deactivate the Tata Sky subscription, the balance in your Tata Sky account will not debit until you reactivate it again.

Conclusion

The temporary account suspension feature in Tata Sky is one of the handiest features available. Earlier people used to recharge only required amounts monthly but due to various cashback offers, Google Pay games, etc, people started recharging their Tata Sky accounts randomly and maintaining enough balance for few months. So suspending the Tata Sky account temporarily when you are not using it saves a lot of money and gives you more watch time.

Though this temporary account suspension feature is not going away anytime soon, the steps to do it may change or the UI of apps may revamp. We’ll update the steps accordingly if anything changes in the future. Alternatively, you can also contact Tata Sky customer care at 1800 208 6633 from your registered mobile number to request temporarily deactivating your Tata Sky account.

    This page is a great help. Got what I was looking for which was not clear in TataSky FAQ page. Thank you very much.
    One thing, their FAQ says “Suspension duration can be availed for a minimum of 5 days. There is no end limit to the duration.”
    I guess you need to update this info.
