Inventory is circle specific (so 'in any state/circle' is incorrect).

If there was no plan voucher activated in the past few months and it says 18/03/2024 as the date when customer seizes to have the connection, then it might already be terminated.
If by chance it is not terminated, then new recharge would get activated.
Unfortunately the voice customer support (18001801503) give conflicting details about the status.
Hence the only way to know for sure and possibly reactivate is by visiting the physical BSNL office.
If the connection is indeed terminated then the process to get the number back, subject to availability, is the same as taking any new connection.
I have not used the BSNL channel app for retailers or the one for customers, but maybe it can help to give confirmation of whether the number has been released for reuse or is still on the name of the old customer.

It never expires just like jio
If you want to activate no. Then do a recharge of 107

Untrue.
Else ready to pay you โน107 plus whatever service charge or gift you want, to get two prepaid numbers back on-line. [One of them got terminated as recently as last quarter of 2024 and the SIM is still available with the user.]

The benefits and rights of the existing plan and the contract with the existing operator only seizes if (the number is) successfully ported to the new operator (and the number gets registered in the database of the new telecom operator).
If someone generates the Unique Porting Code, but does not actually give it to a different operator and does not port out, then the number will continue to be with BSNL.

[Even after the Customer Acquisition Form (CAF) is successfully filled by the new operator, as per TRAI rules, MNP customers still get the 'cancel' option for a short duration (of 15-20 hours).]
(Even the existing operator might approach you and insist that you send the 'cancel' SMS.)

ย ย ย โบ Request UPC by sending a message to 1900. Message should be in the format 'PORT รรรรร-รรรรร'. (Port space ten-digit phone number.)
ย โฒ If number has been with the operator for more than 90 days and all dues are cleared, the UPC (unique porting code) is received from 1901.
ย ย ย The message also clearly states the date and time before which the new operator should claim it. Validity of UPC ought to be noted and one should try to get the new KYC done at-least 18-20 hours before the validity of the UPC expires.
ย ย ย โบ Note down the UPC. ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฌ eโจxโจcโจeโจpโจtโจ wโจhโจeโจnโจ aโจpโจpโจrโจoโจaโจcโจhโจiโจnโจgโจ aโจ rโจeโจtโจaโจiโจlโจeโจrโจ oโจrโจ nโจeโจwโจ oโจpโจeโจrโจaโจtโจoโจrโจ sโจtโจoโจrโจeโจ (to port and finish the KYC.)
ย โฒ Approach the store or retailer/agent of the operator to which you want to port into.

The channel partner (retailer/agent) in turn often offer complimentary 28 days, 56 days packs for free (28 days) or at nominal charges (like โน149-โน199 for the 56 days pack).
ย โฒ Give the UPC to operator store person or to the retailer.
ย ย ย โบ They will mostly complete (filling the customer acquisition form) via digital KYC method.
ย โฒ If digital KYC, then the customer's live photograph is taken. The address and photo ID document needs to be verified by the operator.
ย ย ย โบ In-case of physical document and no biometrics, the photograph of the original (colour) document is taken. Older black and white voter ID cards may not work.

ย โฒ Be cautious that they do not take your KYC, thumb impressions, documents but clandestinely fill someone else's numbers using your name. Any number on your name, if misused by anyone... will lead back to you.
ย ย ย โบ If your current operator (BSNL) gives an all ๐๐๐ผ to the new operator, then the new operator will process the application.
ย โฒ Official timelines are 5 to 6 days, but usually the migration happens on the night of the third working day (if porting within the same circle).
ย ย ย โบ If the promised freebies are not immediately credited and there is no outgoing, do not panic. Migrations happen around midnight. Sometimes the systems calibrate once in 6-8 hours. So if the retailer promised the 28days pack free, then the operator will auto activate it soon enough.

โ ๏ธ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ฅ says that even for prepaid to postpaid migration WITHIN AIRTEL, if it is done on-line (using the website or the application) via OTP method, then such numbers would NOT work if number is in Jammu Kashmir. I have not personally verified this and it may not be of concern for MNP customers, but ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ฅ claims that if one wants to use a prepaid to postpaid converted number in Jammu Kashmir, then one must have KYC done at the store/retailer. So if porting to Airtel, Jio type loony bins, then double check, triple check for any undisclosed terms and conditions.โ ๏ธ
