State-owned telecom operator BSNL is now allowing its customers to extend the validity of their prepaid plans just by paying Rs 2. The new pack by BSNL is a revised version of the existing Rs 19 validity extension pack. The telco will offer a grace period of three days at a recharge of Rs 2.
The new pack has been announced in the BSNL Tamil Nadu division. If you recharge your BSNL connection with Rs 2 on the last day of your existing prepaid plan, you will be given three more days to recharge your number again. Once the process is complete, Rs 2 will be deducted from the main balance on the first day of the extension period. This recharge plan doesn’t offer any other benefits, it just gives people three more days of validity.
Earlier, BSNL had announced a Rs 19 validity extension pack that allowed users to extend the validity of their existing prepaid plan by 30 days.
BSNL had launched a host of new prepaid plans of late including a yearly plan and two quarterly plans. The plans are priced at Rs 699, Rs 786, and Rs 2,399 plans.
