BSNL Recharge Prepaid Plans: Affordable Recharge Options
BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) continues to offer a wide range of prepaid recharge options for customers looking for voice calls, mobile data, combo benefits and longer validity.
However, BSNL’s prepaid portfolio has changed since the older 2025 plan lists were published. Rather than applying a single across-the-board price increase, BSNL has rationalised several prepaid vouchers by changing their validity and benefits. Some popular plans therefore offer different validity or data benefits than they did previously.
This updated guide reflects the latest available BSNL prepaid plan information as of September 2026. Recharge availability and benefits can vary by circle, so customers should verify the final plan details before payment.
BSNL Prepaid Recharge Plans 2026
Some currently listed BSNL prepaid options include:
| Price | Data Benefit | Validity | Plan Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1 | 1GB/day | 24 days | Promotional plan |
| ₹107 | 3GB total | 20 days | Plan Voucher |
| ₹147 | 5GB | 24 days | Voice/Combo |
| ₹153 | 1GB/day | 24 days | Plan Voucher |
| ₹197 | 5GB | 35 days | Plan Voucher |

| ₹1,551 | 2GB/day | 365 days | Annual |
| ₹2,399 | 2GB/day | 365 days | Annual |
| ₹2,799 | 3GB/day | 365 days | Annual |
Current September 2026 listings show these prices and benefits, although exact availability can differ between circles.
What Changed in BSNL Recharge Plans?
The major change customers should be aware of is plan rationalisation.
For example, BSNL’s ₹107 voucher has seen its validity reduced over successive revisions. Current listings show the ₹107 plan at 20 days with 3GB total data, rather than relying on older articles that may show different validity or benefits.
BSNL also revised other vouchers. Its October 2025 tariff circular changed the ₹439 voucher from 90 days to 80 days and the ₹1,499 voucher from 336 days to 300 days, while changing some associated benefits.
Therefore, users should be careful with old articles titled “BSNL Recharge Plans 2025”, because several plan benefits and validity periods have subsequently changed.
🔹 Popular BSNL Data Vouchers
Current listings include the following data-focused options:
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₹19 | 2GB | 1 day |
| ₹39 | 20GB | 1 day |
| ₹49 | 10GB | 30 days |
| ₹58 | 8GB | 7 days |
| ₹105 | 20GB | 7 days |
| ₹198 | 40GB | 30 days |
| ₹247 | 50GB | 30 days |
| ₹319 | 10GB | 60 days |
| ₹411 | 100GB | 60 days |
Current September 2026 listings show ₹58, ₹105, ₹198 and ₹411 among BSNL’s data vouchers, while other data options are also available depending on circle.

These plans are among the currently listed BSNL prepaid options in September 2026.
🔹 BSNL Long-Validity & Annual Plans
Customers who don’t want to recharge every month can consider long-validity options.
₹1,551 Plan
- 2GB/day data
- Unlimited voice calling
- 100 SMS/day
- 365-day validity
₹2,399 Plan
- 2GB/day data
- Unlimited voice calling
- 100 SMS/day
- Standard validity: 365 days
₹2,799 Plan
- 3GB/day data
- 365-day validity
The ₹2,399 annual plan also received a special promotional validity extension to 412 days during BSNL’s Independence Day 2026 offer. That offer was announced for a limited period, so customers should not assume the additional 47 days are permanent.
🔹 BSNL Top-Up Vouchers
Current listings include these commonly available top-up denominations:
| Recharge | Talk Value |
|---|---|
| ₹10 | ₹7.47 |
| ₹20 | ₹14.95 |
| ₹50 | ₹39.37 |
| ₹100 | ₹81.75 |
| ₹220 | ₹220 |
| ₹500 | ₹420.73 |
| ₹1,000 | ₹844.46 |
These top-up values are currently listed for BSNL prepaid services, although availability and applicable benefits can vary.
🔹 BSNL International Roaming Plans
BSNL also provides international-roaming vouchers for customers travelling abroad.
Current listings include international roaming options ranging from low-cost short-duration packs to higher-value packs. For example, current listings include ₹23, ₹31 and ₹36 options, while higher-value international roaming packs can extend to several thousand rupees.
International roaming benefits depend heavily on the destination country and partner network, so customers should check the applicable country-specific tariff before travelling.
BSNL ₹1 Freedom Offer
BSNL also introduced a promotional ₹1 Freedom plan in August 2026 for new prepaid customers.
The offer provided:
- Unlimited voice calls
- 1GB data per day
- 100 SMS per day
- 24-day validity
- Free SIM under the promotional offer
The government announcement stated that this promotional onboarding offer was available until 12 September 2026, so it should not be treated as a permanent ₹1 recharge plan.
Is BSNL Increasing Recharge Prices?
It is important to distinguish between a price hike and tariff rationalisation.
BSNL has made several changes to prepaid plans, including reducing validity or changing benefits without necessarily increasing the MRP. For example, BSNL’s October 2025 circular revised the validity of selected vouchers while retaining their MRPs.
There were also reports in 2026 that BSNL was expected to raise tariffs as part of efforts to increase average revenue per user, but these reports should not be confused with a confirmed blanket price hike across all prepaid plans.
Therefore, the safest description for the current situation is:
“BSNL has revised and rationalised several prepaid plans, with changes to validity and benefits; customers should check the latest circle-specific tariff before recharging.”
How to Choose the Right BSNL Recharge
Your ideal recharge depends on how you use your phone.
📞 Mostly Calling
Choose a voice-focused plan if your primary requirement is unlimited calling and you don’t consume much mobile data.
📱 Regular Data Usage
A 1GB/day or 2GB/day plan can be suitable for normal browsing, social media, video calls and other everyday usage.
🎬 Heavy Data Usage
Customers who regularly stream video or use their phone as a hotspot can look at higher-data options such as the 3GB/day plans.
📅 Don’t Want Frequent Recharges?
Annual plans such as ₹1,551, ₹2,399 and ₹2,799 provide substantially longer validity and can reduce the need for monthly recharges.
