Existing TVS iQube Customers

Customers will pay Rs. 999 + 13% VAT per month to continue enrollment in the subscription until the battery reaches 70% SOH.

Important Note:

There is a very crucial point to note in the Lifetime Battery Assurance (LBA) program.

If customers opt out of the LBA Subscription plan after completing their mandatory 24-month or 36-month subscription or at any point thereafter, they will not be able to re-enroll in the plan.

For example: If I cancel the LBA subscription in Year 4, I will not be able to renew the subscription in Year 6 again.

That is why, I will need to continue my subscription as the LBA program will cover battery-related issues for the duration of the subscription. If the subscription is canceled, the LBA program will no longer cover any battery-related issues.

If I need to do battery replacement or repair outside the LBA program, that cost will come out of my pocket.
