Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has hiked the tariffs of four prepaid plans in an indirect manner. Instead of increasing the price of the plans, the state-run telco has reduced the benefits they came with. To be precise, BSNL has reduced the validity of these plans. The four plans which have been included in this indirect tariff hike are - Rs 107, Rs 197, Rs 397, and Rs 797. All of these plans were there already, but now, the state-run telco has reduced their validity. BSNL has been doing this for a long time, and it helps the telco in boosting its revenues as consumers would now have to recharge with the same plans more frequently than before. It would help BSNL in improving the cash inflow. Let's take a look at the validity changes these plans have gone through.
