BSNL 425 Plan

BSNL, the Indian telecom operator, has reframed its mobile postpaid plans. The Plan 299 has been merged with the Plan 225. The Plan 225 will offer local calls at INR 0.60 /minute and STD calls are charged INR 1/minute.




The roaming Plan 550 has been merged with the Plan 525. The Plan 525 will offer local calls at INR 0.40 per minute, on-net STD calls at INR 0.60 per minute, STD calls to other GSM networks at INR 0.80, and calls to fixed/WLL at INR 0.60 per minute on the BSNL network and INR 0.80 per minute to other networks.

The tariffs under Plan 490 have been cut down and the fixed monthly charge has also been reduced to INR 425 from INR 490. The Plan 425 will offer local and STD calls at INR 0.50 per minute.

The pulse rate is 15 seconds. Intra-circle calls would be charged at 40 paise per minute.

BSNL Golden Fifty Plan

After launching 3G services, BSNL is all set to initiate another round of tariff war with its 'Golden Fifty' plan.BSNL announced a new plan offering local and STD call at just 50 paise a minute across the entire network, while the charges would be 20 and 30 paise for BSNL to BSNL.




Golden Fifty plan would be available to consumers for a monthly rent of Rs 375 inclusive of taxes.It is worth mentioning here that BSNL's 'One India' plan was being offered at Rs 330 per month plus taxes and the call charges were one rupee a minute whereas in 'Golden Fifty' the charges are half.Also, all the local SMSs would also cost just 50 paise.

Even though the tariff is quite lucrative, the monthly rent is a bit of downer. Rs. 375 per month in addition to the call charges will make many think before jumping onto this scheme. We would recommend this only if you’re usage is around Rs. 500 – 600 per month.
