1. BSNL Rs 1499 Plan Voucher
BSNL’s revised Rs 1499 plan voucher now offers unlimited voice calls and unlimited data with speed reduced to 40 Kbps after 32GB (previously 24GB) and a validity of 300 days (previously 336 days). This means the new plan offers 36 days less validity but provides a small increase in data benefits.
2. BSNL Rs 997 Prepaid Plan
The revised Rs 997 plan voucher now includes unlimited voice calls (Local/STD/roaming, including Mumbai and Delhi), unlimited data with speed reduced to 40 Kbps after 2GB/day, and 100 SMS/day for 150 days. Previously, the plan offered the same benefits with 160 days of validity, meaning a reduction of 10 days at the same price.
3. BSNL Rs 897 Prepaid Plan
The Rs 897 plan voucher now offers unlimited voice calling, unlimited data with speed reduced to 40 Kbps after 24GB, and 100 SMS/day, with a validity of 165 days in Home LSA and national roaming (including Mumbai and Delhi).
Earlier, the plan offered 90GB data with 180 days of validity. Thus, both data benefits (reduced by 66GB) and validity (reduced by 15 days) have been cut.
