Follow Us

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Sunday unveiled a “Work from Home” plan to aid users working and studying from home across India. The unveiling of the plan is on the heels of the companies in India largely sticking to the “Work from Home” model despite the eased restrictions across several states in India. The Indian government in late March announced a total lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the government eased restrictions on the lockdown in early May and India headed into the “Unlock 1.0” in June that paved the way for many offices to reopen. While India is currently under the second phase of unlocking dubbed as “Unlock 2.0,” several states across India have imposed city wide or district wide lockdowns. The fluid situation has also resulted in several students forced to adapt to the digital platforms for education.




Work from Home BSNL Plan

The state-run BSNL “Work from Home” plan priced at Rs 599 enables users to browse high speed data up to 5GB per day and at 80 Kbps upon reaching the 5GB limit. Additionally, the “Work from Home” BSNL plan also enables users to make unlimited local and STD calls up to 250 minutes per day. Further, the Rs 599 plan from BSNL with a validity of 90 days also enables users to send 100 SMS per day for no additional cost.

Work from Home Reliance Jio Plan

Reliance Jio, the largest cellular operator in India has been offering “Work from Home” plans since March. While the company initially rolled out a Rs 251 data add-on pack, Reliance Jio has since expanded its offerings to multiple “Work from Home” plans in the recent months. However, the dedicated “Work from Home” plans offer only data benefits to its users with the operator requiring its users to opt for additional packs for voice and SMS benefits.

The company offers three major “Work from Home” data packs with the base priced at Rs 151 providing 30GB of high speed data. Further, Reliance Jio offers Rs 201 and Rs 251 packs with 40GB and 50GB data benefits respectively.
