It is wierd, this is how it worked with Hutch...

I paid 100 rupees for the sim card.

I then bought a top up voucher for 550 rupees. I got 389 rupees of talk time and 30 days validity on the account.

Every top up thereafter cost 551 rupees and for that I got 500 rupees of talktime but no extension to the card validity.

Also when you buy a sim card in India, you have to give the store owner a passport photo of you and a copy of your passport (this is a government regulation). Unless you know anyone local who'll register your sim in their name. If you don't provice this information, the outgoing calls and sms are cut off.

Also when you top up, their is usually no card/voucher. You pay the 551 rupees to the store owner and give him your phone number. He then does it from his own cellphone and you recieve a message saying the top up was sucessful.
