You must enter the static IP address assigned to your computer as the De-Militarized Zone address in BSNL modem. Also, make sure the static IP address you have assigned to your PC is not in the IP range of the DHCP server. For example, if the DHCP range is 50 and the starting IP address is, it is safe to use an IP address from onwards.

Benefits & Risks of Using a Computer As DMZ Host
If your computer is facing issues with accessing certain websites or playing online games when connected to BSNL modem in PPPoE mode, you can override the BSNL modem restrictions by converting your computer as DMZ host. Your PC is open to the Internet without any protection or restrictions from modem firewall security when it is DMZ host. It risky to use a laptop in De-Militarized Zone because it is no longer protected from external threats unless your laptop has separate firewall protection. So it is not very recommended use a device as DMZ unless you are a hardcore gamer or planning to use your computer as a web host. By installing a reputed firewall program on your computer, you can enable protection even if it is acting as in De-Militarized Zone.

This same procedure will works in all router network if you are going to do port forwarding you can access more that one device. It will works better than DMZ. Because if the router is publicly accessible after doing the DMZ you are only able to access your router from outside, so it's better you can go ahead with port forwarding.

I agree with your comment about the superiority of Port forwarding over DMZ. However, in modern routers and modems, DMZ host receives different IP address (not in the range of private IP address provided to other devices from DHCP) and is treated as placed entirely outside the network. DMZ host has no connection with other devices connected to the modem. Accessing the router from DMZ is also prohibited.
