BSNL Kerala has silently revised the tariff for its prepaid users. Unlike other operators, BSNL hasn’t increased the tariff rates but reduced the prepaid plan validity for several of its existing plans.

Speaking on the development Raju Lal, a BSNL user belonging to Kerala circle said,

” A silent tariff hike has taken place in BSNL Kerala circle with reduced validity of plans and STVs. The rates have not been increased yet, keeping it lower than Jio and others. I think similar activity may be going on in other circles.”
