Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has reduced the validity offered with the Rs 99 plan. This is a move that indirectly increases the cost of using the plan. So while you are not essentially paying more money, but because the validity has reduced, the average cost of using the plan daily has increased. BSNL has time and again made such moves. It is a very passive way to hike the tariffs as not every customer would notice. However, TelecomTalk has noticed the change and here, we will list all the benefits of the plan offered to the users currently.
Before that, it is worth noting that Airtel has also increased the tariffs of two plans recently. To read about that, follow the link below.

BSNL Rs 99 Plan with Revised Validity
The Rs 99 plan from BSNL now comes with a validity of 17 days. Earlier, the plan carried a validity of 18 days. The change is not too major, but it does increase the average daily cost of the plan. From Rs 5.5, the daily cost of using this plan has jumped to Rs 5.82.
Note that it is a special tariff voucher (STV) and it doesn't come with any sort of data benefits. The Rs 99 plan from BSNL offers unlimited voice calling to the users for 17 days and there's no other benefit bundled with the plan.
If you are going for this plan, you can always recharge with the data vouchers that BSNL offers wherenever you want to consume data. This move would help BSNL is increasing its average revenue per user (ARPU) marginally and improve returns from the wireless mobile network business.
