The changes we all have been expecting for nearly four months now are finally here. BSNL has officially reduced the validity of its popular Rs 1,699 annual plan to 300 days. This essentially means that the unlimited combo annual plan from BSNL will be the recently launched Rs 1,999 pack. Besides the Rs 1,699 prepaid plan, the government-owned telco also revised five more plans- PV 186, STV 187, STV 98, STV 99 and STV 319. The PV 186 and STV 187 now offer less data benefit, while the STV 98, STV 99 and STV 319 come with less validity. The revised prepaid plans will be effective from April 1 across the country. This is a bad move from BSNL as the company is just managing to beat the private telcos like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea.

BSNL Rs 1,699 Yearly Plan Revised: Check New Benefits
Private telecom operators brought a price hike in December 2019 as part of which they increased the tariffs by up to 40%. However, BSNL did not increase the tariff prices because it lacks 3G services and it also makes no sense to hike the prepaid plan prices. The price hike from BSNL was always on the cards and it is finally here. Instead of revising the plan prices, BSNL has reduced the data benefit and validity of the current plans.
The Rs 1,699 yearly plan from BSNL has been revised to offer less validity. Benefits of the plan remain the same and they include 250 minutes of voice calls per day, 100 SMSes per day and 2GB daily data for 300 days. After the completion of 250 minutes, users will be charged according to the base plan and the data speed reduces to 80 Kbps after the allotted daily benefit.
