BSNL has never been this aggressive with its data offerings on prepaid plans and special recharge tariffs. Not just the prepaid plan worth Rs 155, the telco has revised its entire prepaid data STV portfolio to mark its territory in the game. One popular data STV under this portfolio is the Rs 198 prepaid plan, which got a do-over as well. This plan now offers a whopping 2.5GB data incentive per day for the same price. The plan holds a validity of 24 days. This plan also offers free Print BSNL tunes for the entire validity period. Other data STVs that got a much-needed revision include the ones priced at Rs 14, Rs 29 and Rs 241.

The data STV worth Rs 14 now offers a total of 1GB data for a validity of one day, up from the earlier 110MB of data. Next up is the plan priced at Rs 29, which earlier came with an offering of 150MB of data for three days. The same plan has now made a giant data leap to 1GB total data with a validity of three days. The BSNL plan for Rs. 40 has now been modified to offer a total data of 1GB for a period of five days. Another BSNL prepaid plan priced at Rs 57 now offers 1GB data for 21 days after upgradation.
The BSNL prepaid plan for Rs 68, which has remained one of the best offerings from BSNL has been revised too. After modification, this plan now offers a total of 2GB data for a period of five days, which is up from the earlier 1GB data incentive. The Rs 78 and Rs 82 data STVs now offer 4GB of 3G data benefit for a period of three days. Additionally, the Rs. 82 STV has got free PRBT from the telecom operator. The plan priced at Rs. 85 will offer a total of 5GB data going forward. On the other hand, the plan priced at Rs 155 comes with 2GB data benefit on a day-to-day basis for a total of 17 days. And finally, we have the premium Rs 241 prepaid plan to wrap all the updates from BSNL. This plan now offers a whopping 7GB of data benefit for a time period of 30 days.
