Airtel Rs 1,849 Plan: This is one of the most affordable yearly plans with unlimited calls + 3,600 SMS for a year, but no mobile data included.

Airtel Rs 2,249 Plan: Similar calling + SMS benefits, but includes 30GB data for the entire year. After that, data costs 50p per MB.

Airtel Annual Perks: All Airtel yearly plans offer Perplexity Pro worth Rs 17,000, HelloTunes, and basic value-added benefits - even the low-cost plans get these.

Jio Annual Packs: Jio’s 1-year plans include unlimited calling, daily SMS, and generous data benefits, along with access to Jio’s full ecosystem.

Jio Rs 3,599 Plan: You get 2.5GB/day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS/day, plus freebies like JioTV, JioAICloud (50GB), JioHotstar (3 months) and more.
