The change reportedly comes to all prepaid combo plans that are available under the denomination of Rs. 186, Rs. 429, Rs. 485, Rs. 666, and Rs. 999.

This is more than the 1GB daily data benefits that were previously provided on the Rs. 186, Rs. 429, and Rs. 999, while the Rs. 485 and Rs. 666 packs were available with 1.5GB data benefits.

The upgraded prepaid combo packs by BSNL are reportedly available in many states across India, except the Kerala circle. Moreover, the validity of the packs remains the same.
