BSNL Revises SIM Replacement Cost for Prepaid and Postpaid Users to Rs 50

BSNL has revised the SIM replacement cost for both prepaid and postpaid users to Rs 50. Earlier this year in August, BSNL introduced a promotional offer to reduce the SIM replacement cost to Rs 50 for a period of 90 days. However, it seems like the telco has reduced the price permanently now. According to the latest information available, BSNL will now charge just Rs 50 from the users for replacing the SIM card- be it prepaid or postpaid. The new change is already effective across all the telecom circles where BSNL is operating right now. For the unaware, in 2018, BSNL hiked the SIM replacement charges by 100% to Rs 100 from the existing Rs 10 charges. BSNL has been placing with these SIM replacement charges for a while now, and we’re expecting the new Rs 50 charges will stay at least for another couple of years.

BSNL Introduces New SIM Replacement Charges for Prepaid and Postpaid Users

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited or BSNL is operating in 20 telecom circles right now, but the soon-to-be-happening merger with MTNL will give access to the telco in all the 22 telecom circles including Mumbai and Delhi. Before the introduction of new SIM replacement charges, BSNL customers used to pay Rs 100 for one-time SIM replacement. But now, they can pay Rs 50 to avail a new BSNL SIM card.

That said, SIM replacement means a BSNL prepaid or postpaid customer will get the same mobile number. Usually, SIM cardholders look a replacement whenever the existing SIM gets corrupted or for any other reason. SIM cards get corrupted every now and then, and the only way to use telecom services is by getting a new SIM card. BSNL users can head over to any of the nearby stores to get their SIM card replaced.”It is hereby conveyed that the SIM replacement cost is regularised as Rs 50 under GSM Prepaid and Postpaid mobile services,” said BSNL.
