So what are the cheapest options in new scenario for keeping number active with incoming, sms and emergency outgoing in each operator?
 
Cheapest is probably BSNL. How cheap depends on the circle you are in because BSNL plans vary widely in different circles

They are even confuse about their business.. they are making loss from 2010 (not sure) still they are providing cheapest plan. I was expecting a huge reform of bsnl but nothing happening. Now they are concentrating on VRS.

There is no 4g in Guwahati city. But it's available in smaller towns in state. I don't get their business strategy.

They are yet to receive more spectrum for 4G.. They are following airtel's footprint like shutting down 3G for 4G. They also cleared about 1700 crores of vendor's due (not full payment).
 
Recharging for just Rs. 50 once in a month is not costly, this is bare minimum we must accept to enjoy mobile service. Please remember telecom provider have huge expenses apart from taxation and other things, add some profit margin and ultimately prices r decided for various plans. We all expect best coverage/connectivity but not willing to pay accordingly, this seems so not right.

I well understand that those coming from financially weak background may find it very difficult to pay as little as Rs. 50 per month on mobile recharge and they must be subsidised but for regular folks there ain't nothing to complaint about. U know i was on lifetime validity plan until airtel scrapped it in the hardly fought price war battle but still i stood by them bcoz prevailing conditions pushed them into taking this step, if we can spend such high amounts for single muktiplex movie ticket then paying fraction of it on mobile expenses or even subscription of important channels should not be case of worry
 
A premium (and ofcourse expensive) offering is whats required in the telecom industry right now. Existing telcos can bring 5G and give it as premium and keep 4G for low/medium paying subscribers
