Bharti Airtel is known as the telecom operator, which offers the most attractive postpaid plans in the industry. To recall, earlier this year, Bharti Airtel had increased the base limit of its postpaid plans. While these plans used to start at a much lower rate previously, now they come with the base price of Rs 499 for most subscribers. Although the Rs 399 postpaid plan also exists in the portfolio of Bharti Airtel postpaid, but it is available only in select circles. As opposed to this, is the Rs 499 postpaid plan, which is one of the major offerings from Bharti Airtel. However, in the coming days, the tariffs are going to increase for the Bharti Airtel subscribers. This means that even the monthly rental of these postpaid plans will also go up. Now, being one of the most like postpaid offerings in the market, the tariff hike move is going to affect a lot of users.

How Much Will the Tariff Increase?
Firstly, it would be crucial to note, exactly by how much the tariffs might go up. Now for that, we will have to look at Reliance Jio, which has already upped its tariffs by almost 15%, thus giving the room of 30% to Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea to hike the tariffs. This means that the tariffs for both postpaid and prepaid plan will go up in the coming months. The starting postpaid plans for Bharti Airtel is the Rs 499 one.
Bharti Airtel Postpaid Plans Starting at Rs 499
The Rs 499 postpaid plan from Bharti Airtel offers 75GB data per month to the subscribers, and besides this, the subscribers get to enjoy unlimited calling benefit as well. In addition to this, the customers of this prepaid plan get Airtel Thanks benefit which includes Netflix subscription for three months and Amazon Prime subscription for a year along with Airtel Xstream and ZEE5 subscription. In the coming days, the tariff of this prepaid plan is likely to be increased by Rs 150, or the benefits might come down by an equal amount.
