In a bold move that’s shaking up the telecom industry, state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a ₹1 prepaid plan offering unlimited voice calls and 2GB of mobile data. Yes, you read that right—just ₹1!

As competitors continue to hike tariffs, BSNL has gone the other way, introducing what might be India’s most affordable telecom plan ever. Here's everything you need to know.

💥 What’s Included in the BSNL ₹1 Plan?

🔸 Fair Usage Policy (FUP): After 2GB, data speed reduces to 40 Kbps.
🔸 Roaming: Free calls available on BSNL network nationwide.

🧠 Why BSNL Introduced This Plan

BSNL’s new ₹1 plan is part of a limited-time promotional push to regain market share and attract new users, especially:

• Students and daily wage users who want one-day recharge options

• Users in rural or semi-urban areas needing affordable daily data

• Customers looking to test BSNL services before switching fully

🕐 How to Activate the ₹1 Plan

You can recharge with the ₹1 plan using:

1. BSNL Self-Care App

2. Official Website: bsnl.co.in

3. Recharge portals like Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay

4. Retailers and BSNL outlets

Just search for “₹1 daily plan” under special recharges or STVs (Special Tariff Vouchers).

📱 Ideal Use Cases

This plan is perfect for:

• Emergency or backup SIM use

• Travelers needing 1-day coverage

• Users on budget needing temporary data + calls

• Minimal users who recharge only when needed

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

• The ₹1 plan is not a monthly recharge, but a daily top-up.

• Benefits expire exactly 24 hours after activation.

• May not be available in all circles during rollout—check local availability.

• This is part of BSNL’s new micro-recharge model—more ultra-affordable packs may follow.

📢 Final Word

With the telecom space getting costlier for average users, BSNL’s ₹1 plan feels like a breath of fresh air. For just a rupee, users get everything from calls to data—a deal that no private telco is offering right now.
