While major companies like Jio, Airtel, and Vi are constantly increasing the prices of their tariff plans, BSNL has brought long validity and ample data to its millions of users for just ₹485.
If you’re looking for a recharge that doesn’t burden your pocket and gives you complete freedom from the hassle of frequent recharges, this plan is the perfect choice for you. According to the latest report for April 2026, this BSNL plan is becoming the most popular among those who want to enjoy high-speed 4G/5G internet and unlimited calling on a budget, while also strengthening their savings.
BSNL ₹485 Prepaid Plan
BSNL has specifically designed this plan for customers who need an affordable long-term solution. For ₹485, you get a full 72 days of validity, with an average daily cost of just ₹6.73, making it the cheapest and most powerful plan in the market. Under this plan, users receive a robust 2GB of high-speed data per day, which means a total of 144GB of data backup over the entire 72 days, proving to be a boon for students studying online and professionals working from home.
Additionally, you also get unlimited voice calling on any network, ensuring seamless communication whether in your hometown or roaming in metropolises like Delhi and Mumbai. The pack also includes the ability to send 100 SMS messages daily.
Data and Connectivity
The biggest strength of this ₹485 plan from BSNL is its data management, as even after the daily data limit is reached, your internet connection doesn’t completely shut down, but continues to run at a robust 40Kbps, allowing you to easily send important messages like WhatsApp.
While private telecom companies are now charging ₹800 to ₹1000 for plans with a validity of 84 days, BSNL is offering a break of about two and a half months for just ₹485, which is great for those who want to keep their SIM active for a long time at a low cost and also want to use the internet to its fullest.
By April 2026, BSNL will have installed more than 98,000 indigenous 4G sites across India, which are fully ready for 5G in the future, and this simply means that in the coming time, you are going to get even faster and faster internet speed on this plan.
