BSNL Prepaid Users Can Now Extend Account Validity Using STV/Combo Plans

Similar to private telecom operators, BSNL also has an active account suspension scheme in place. BSNL prepaid users can extend their account validity by recharging with separate plans, and on top, they have to perform standard STV/Combo recharges to enjoy the services. However, the state-run telco has made a significant change and now says users can extend their account validity using the STV/Combo plans as well. This move from BSNL will come as a big relief to the consumers as they no longer have to search for the validity extension plans like Neesham Gold, Plan 8 and so on. BSNL has a wide-range of STVs and Combo plans and they start at just Rs 12. The new change is already effective across the country.

BSNL Offers Validity Extension Using Combo & STV Prepaid Plans

BSNL has implemented two changes to its account validity extension scheme. For the unaware, BSNL provides two grace periods before suspending the mobile number of a user. For the BSNL users who are already in Grace Period-I or Grace Period-II, the telco allows them to recharge STVs/Combo vouchers of Rs 75 and above to make their connection active under the base plan with a validity of the recharged STV/Combo vouchers for all plans.

In the second scenario, customers who are currently active under corporate/circle specific plans, they can recharge with Plan voucher after every “plan/recharge validity” period or any applicable recharge to avail the benefits under this tariff plan. In case of recharge with applicable STV/Combo voucher, the validity of tariffs plan will be extended corresponding to the validity of that STV/Combo voucher. In case, if the customer fails to recharge with plan voucher or any applicable recharge at the end of the validity period, the telco has the right to provide the plan benefits under Grace Period-I and Grace Period-II. After the second Grace Period, the services of users will be suspended.
