BSNL has launched dozens of plans in the country. This pack comes after telecom operators increased the prices of their prepaid plans. Notably, BSNL has not increased prices but received attention from customers due to its affordable packs and offers.
In fact, the state-run telecom operator has again announced new benefits and offers with a new pack of Rs. 197. This pack offers data and calling benefits. So, let’s find out the details of the newly launched pack.
BSNL Rs. 197 Plan: Details
The Rs. 197 plan is providing free messages, 2GB of data per day, and unlimited calling for 150 days. However, there is a catch. As users will get benefits of this plan for only the first 18 days from the actual date of the recharge; however, the speed will be decreased to 40Kbps.
In addition, unlimited calling also applies to unlimited calling as users will get a benefit for 18 days only. Notably, the pack is valid for 150 days, but after 18 days users have to go for top-ups, which means this is a long-term plan and it is designed for those who are using data benefits regularly.
Government Infusing Money
Meanwhile, the government announced that it will be infusing Rs. 44, 720 crores into the state-run telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited in the next financial year. “The provision is made for capital infusion for 4G spectrum, technology up-gradation and restructuring in BSNL,” the explanatory note in the document said.
In addition, the government will invest Rs. 7,443.57 crore in BSNL for a voluntary retirement scheme and Rs. 3,550 crores for GST payment. As per documents VRS will be for both BSNL and MTNL. The GST will be offered to the BSNL for clearing GST of the allocation of the 4G Spectrum.
