Minors are seen as "mentally incompetent", or, in other words, not capable of making rational decisions on their own. Legally, minors CAN enter into a contract; however, the minor is, generally, exempt from any punishments or sanctions of that contract. The adult, on the other hand, is fully responsible for it. Or, in short, the minor can violate the contract, and receive little-to-no punishment, while you are still held responsible if you did the same. So, it is not illegal to service minors. It's just not in your best interest.
In most cases, yes. First, in most cases, what the minor is calling "their phone" is actually "the parent's phone that they let the minor use". Companies are reluctant to contract minors, so the parent is usually the owner of, both, the phone and the service. Even when this isn't the case, the minor is still below the age of majority (18). Until the minor has reached the age of majority, the parent is not only able, but obligated, to make decisions for them.
If a minor is not legally allowed to work under the Indian Constitution, they can not have legal income. They may have money they've gotten from their family but that does not count as income.
No. His contract was not renewed.
Federal law considers any person under the age of 18 to be a minor. That person is not able to enter into a contract and cannot be held accountable to any contract they might sign. The issue can become somewhat more confusing if the minor is involved with a criminal act. While still a minor, the juvenile can be tried as an adult in some cases, if he is deemed to be competent enough to realize his actions were criminal in nature. Yet, even in the event that a minor is convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison incarceration, he is still considered a minor, and must be segregated from the adult population by the states' Departments of Corrections, and housed with others of his age until he is released or reaches the age of twenty-one.
Traditionally, a minor or an infant is anyone under the age of 21. This has been changed by statutes in almost every state, and a minor is now anyone under the age of 18. The term infant and minor are used interchangeably in most situations. A minor can only void a contract while they are still under the age of maturity (again, usually 18), or for a reasonable time after they have reached that age. If a person does nothing to disaffirm the contract after they stop being a minor, the law can find that they will no longer be able to void the contract

In legal cases if a person is below 18 he still considered a minor and it states that all minors who enters a contract it will be void.
In some jurisdictions, a minor can enter into a legally binding contract with the consent of a parent or guardian. However, these contracts are usually voidable by the minor upon reaching the age of majority. It is important to check the laws in your specific jurisdiction regarding minors entering into contracts.
Liens are filed on property (such as houses) not on people (such as minors). If a minor is the legal owner of property, that property can still have a lien placed upon it - however, in almost all cases, minors do not own property, their parents or guardians do.
