Reliance Jio had earlier slashed tariffs by Rs 50 for all its
monthly schemes under which customers are getting 1 GB data per day and
also enhanced data limit to 1.5 GB from the existing 1GB for select
plans from January 9 onwards.

minutes of free STD/local voice calls daily to any other network. The
plan costs Rs 149 and is valid for a month. BSNL users also have an
option to avail similar plan for three months at Rs 439. The offer also
