Postpaid customers can claim the free data through MyAirtel App.

The company specifies that pack prices may vary from circle to circle, and customers can only avail the 3GB data per month offer only within the first 30 days of purchasing or upgrading to a new 4G handset.
Commenting on the newly launched offer, Ajai Puri, Director - Market Operations, Bharti Airtel, said, "We are inviting customers to experience 4G through the year on India's fastest network. We are seeing increasing penetration of 4G handsets across the country and believe that this attractive offer will provide an opportunity to more and more customers to enjoy high speed broadband on their devices with Airtel."

How can it be free data if subscribers have to pay ₹345 per month for getting that extra 3 GB ? :dodgy 

They should call it 3 GB extra data with that 1 GB pack. Another example of deceptive advertising from Airtel  :angry :angry

This depends on how you see it... Pepsodent offers free brush with paste, do you say it's not free because you pay for the paste.

This is how the companies term FREE. I would say this is still a good offer.

 
Read the headline of this news. It seems you don't have to pay anything and airtel will give free data for 12 months if you just upgrade to 4G. The problem is that our regulator does not exist. How can they approve such ads.

One more thing. Can you tell me how they get this 9K figure for 4GB data for 1 year ? And one more thing is though they mention T&C in ad banner but they disabled the link so you cannot check what are the terms and conditions unless you call CC. It's clear cheating.

According to airtel site without any offer 5.5 GB data costs Rs 655. So for 1 year total = Rs 7860 for 66 GB.

So Form where airtel get this 9K figure for 4GB*12=48 GB for 1 year

You are behaving like a marketing officer of Airtel. :dodgy
