Check the water outlet. Most probably that's stuck

It's all taped and packed

Pipe should be going in open and not into bucket already full

Just check plastic pipe inside unit, it is not properly fit or it must be cut by the service person so need to replace. Pipe Cost is appx 75-100, service man charges extra.

Its nothing major problem

AC should be tilted 3-4 degree towards right for water slope as drain pipe is on right, check the alignment, has the technician checked the slope by putting water in indoor unit whether it is flowing fine?

water pipe should be straight while coming out from indoor. sometimes there is u shaped bend in the pipe which causes the problem.

Yes it is kind of u shaped, drain pipe going from right to left

He installed using water level indicator and it is not tilted to any direction

put a bottle of water on the fins(where the filter is installed(remove the filter first) and check whether the water comes out from the air flow flap or from drain pipe

Tried pouring water directly into ac, after removed the filter, and water starts coming from right side bottom.  Not from flap but from back side of ac.(indoor unit)

so not from air flow flap, right?

I concur with what  thundurguy and raman12 are suggesting. Check your drain pipe first. If it's being stored in a bucket ensure water is collecting freely over there. Pipe  should be hanging above bucket and not kept inside else water will flow back to indoor unit when bucket gets full.

Actually it is underwall fitting for drainage, no bucket system.

The issue is it is fully taped and packet, so i think i should call the service man tomorrow to get it rectified.

It is beyond diy.

Ask him to bring his powerful blower along to clean pipe for any stuck up mess in there

Yup

It's an installation mistake, they must correct this without any additional charges.

There should be a blockage in the drain pipe or inside the indoor unit connected to the Outdoor pipe. You can check by putting a bottle of water on the fins and check the water coming out from the drain pipe.

Checked(poured full 1 l bottle), and abhi tak panni tapak rha hai

then your drain pipe is blocked or there is hole in water collection tray somewhere leaking water 

The pipe was short so he also connected additional pipe with the main drainage pipe, main was copper i guess, additional was plastic transparent pipe.

So as per u that original copper drain pipe is either clogged/blocked or the collector tray is jammed?

Drainage pipe is not fitted correctly or choked. Ask the same installer to rectify this mistake and dont hand over more than 250-300 for this small job

Had a similar kind of problem and the ac mechanic tilted some degree.

Also had an issue with frequent freezing of ice and the mechanic serviced the board sensor which didn't auto cutoff.

Get it serviced/installed by a good technician.

I think he has to uninstall it and then reinstall it, whole process from 0 to 100 again. Right?

Nahi bro

Thoda levelling karna padega mostly, water duct ka jo ac se bahar aata hai

Update - i called the technician, he visited and found that the drain pipe was collapsed, so he cut and replaced it and everything is fine now.
He charged nothing extra, just charged installation 1200 and cleaning 500.
