[!TIP]

Who should choose this? > If you live in a region with strong BSNL 4G coverage and prioritize data volume and low cost over 5G speeds or OTT subscriptions (like Netflix/Hotstar), this is currently the best annual deal in India.

3. BSNL’s Other Annual Alternatives

  1. ₹2,399 Plan: Offers 2.5 GB/day for 365 days. (Ideal if you want to save even more and can live with 100MB less data daily).

  2. ₹2,799 Plan: Offers 3 GB/day for 365 days. (The “Heavy User” choice).
