Now, the state-owned telecom operator has revised the plan, making it a little less lucrative. Also Read - Today's Tech News: FAU-G India launch, Jio suspends internet services in Delhi NCR

Along with the above plan, BSNL had also launched a prepaid pack priced at just Rs 9, with a validity of one day. It comes with 100MB data benefit, along with 100 text messages and unlimited voice calls in the home circle. Roaming calls are also included, except in Delhi and Mumbai circles. The telco had launched both these plans under the Chhota Packs moniker.
Interestingly, even after the reduced benefits, BSNL s Rs 29 plan is still better than what the competition offers.
