India Cellular has revised the pricing of 3G and 2G data plans in Delhi. The decision has come right after the regularization of 14% service tax rate. Here are the changed prices of data plans.
Change In Idea 3G Prices Delhi:
Earlier, users could get 300 MB data for Rs. 102 with a validity of 21 days, but now the company has reduced the price as well as the duration of the plan. As per the new plans, users can get 300 MB 3G recharge for Rs. 97 with a validity of 10 days. The next recharge of 500 MB data used to cost Rs. 156 earlier, but now the company has reduced the data limit to 475 MB and duration to 15 days from 21 days without changing the price.
No change has been made in 600 MB recharge that cost Rs. 198 and valid for 28 days. A major shock has come in the 1 GB recharge that used to cost Rs. 249 earlier. Rather than increasing the price, the company has reduced the data limit to 750 MB to set off the tax effect. Those who want to enjoy 1 GB data, need to recharge with Rs. 295.
