In the Indian telecom market, while on one hand private companies (Jio, Airtel, Vi) are continuously increasing the prices of their plans, on the other hand, government telecom company BSNL is creating a stir in the market by offering the most affordable and good plans for the customers. If you are looking for a mobile plan whose monthly cost is very fixed and within budget, then BSNL has the cheapest postpaid mobile plan in the country. While the price of basic postpaid plans of private telecom operators starts from around Rs 400, this special plan of BSNL is available at about 50 percent lower price. You will get this cheapest postpaid mobile plan of BSNL for just Rs 199 every month, which comes with great benefits and unique facility of data rollover.

Unique benefits and data rollover of BSNL ₹199 postpaid plan

BSNL’s Rs 199 postpaid plan is the best option for users who want to keep a fixed monthly budget without the hassle of prepaid recharges.

The main unique benefits of this plan are as follows:

• Data and calling: In this plan, customers get 25 GB high-speed data for the entire month and 24×7 unlimited voice calling on any network across the country.

• Data Rollover Facility: The biggest feature of this plan is that it comes with ‘Data Rollover’ facility up to 75 GB. That means if your data is saved in any month, it will be added to the next month’s quota.

• Additional data charge: If your fixed 25 GB data is exhausted, then the company does not stop the internet, but charges a very nominal rate i.e. only 1 paisa per MB.

• SMS Benefits: Along with this, users are also given the facility of 100 free SMS every day.

• Things to note: With this very affordable and personalized plan, there is no add-on Family Connection provided by the company, it is only for single user.

Jio vs BSNL: Who is the real king in the budget of ₹199?

According to the report of the reputed website of telecom sector ‘Telecom Talk’, today no other private telecom company in the country offers postpaid mobile plans in this price range. For just Rs 199 per month, users are getting ample data, unlimited calling and postpaid reliability. Today, the price of most prepaid plans in the country is equal to or more than this postpaid plan.

If we compare it with the Rs 199 plan of Reliance Jio or Airtel, for example, the difference is clearly visible:

• Validity and difference of data: In Jio’s Rs 199 prepaid plan, customers get 1.5 GB high-speed data every day. If seen from this perspective, this plan definitely offers a total of 27 GB data, but its biggest weakness is its validity.

• Limited period of Jio: This plan of Jio does not provide validity for a full month, but comes with a limited validity of only 18 days. That means you will have to recharge again after 18 days, whereas BSNL’s plan remains fixed for the entire billing cycle (one month).

• Additional Benefits: In this Rs 199 prepaid plan of Jio, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS per day are also available, along with free access to Jio TV and Jio AI Cloud Storage. But due to less validity, it is much more expensive in the long run than BSNL’s postpaid plans.
