BSNL's Rs 485 Plan Old vs New Benefits
BSNL's Rs 485 plan comes with 80 days of validity now. Earlier, this was 82 days. So two days have been reduced. However, in the data department, the benefits have been increased. From 1.5GB of daily data, you now get 2GB of daily data. So earlier, even when the validity was longer, you got a total of 123GB of data, but with the reduced validity, you get 160GB of data. So the average data cost has been reduced here, but the average daily usage of the cost of this plan has gone up.

This is a kind of revision that will make you question whether the plan just became expensive or cheaper. The Rs 485 plan from BSNL is available for customers throughout the country. If you are someone who is looking for an affordable medium-term validity plan with plenty of data, then this plan could be the perfect option for you. A similar plan from the private telcos will cost you much more money. However, the private telcos have 4G and 5G connectivity whereas BSNL is still in the process to rollout 4G and will achieve its 1 lakh site count only by mid-2025.
