Renowned telecom service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has revised the PV 1,999 or Rs 1,999 annual plan yet again. At the end of December 2020, the telco has made changes to the OTT subscriptions. And now, it has reduced the data benefit. The PV 1999 from BSNL used to offer 3GB data per day, however, starting February 1, the plan comes with just 2GB daily data. With this change, the PV 2,399 now becomes the 3GB daily data annual plan from the government-led telecom operator. The new change will be effective across all the telecom circles where BSNL is operating. This is the third revision to the Rs 1,999 in less than a month. The PV 1,999 is currently offering 21 days of extra validity and that offer will end of January 31, 2021.
