New Delhi: State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has rolled out free validity extension for plan vouchers (PV) and 100 minutes of calling benefit to its subscribers affected by the pandemic, as well as, by the cyclone “Takutae”.
According to the telco, the validity of PVs will be extended till May 31, 2021, free of cost so that its customers can continue to receive incoming calls.
Free validity extension shall be given to all subscribers whose validity expired on or after April 1, 2021, it added.
PVs that are included under the offers cover PV107, PV197, and PV397.
PV107 offers 100 days validity with 100 minutes, 3GB data, and BSNL Tunes (for the first 60 days), while PV197 offers 180 days of main validity with unlimited calling along with 2GB data per day, 100 SMS per day, and access to BSNL Tunes and Zing Music for 18 days.
