📵 Jio ₹249 Plan Discontinued: Here's What Retailers & Users Need to Know

Are you a Jio user or retailer wondering why the ₹249 recharge plan is missing from the app? You're not alone.

As a Jio Retailer, I’ve noticed that many customers have been asking:
"Bhaiya, ₹249 ka plan kahan gaya?"

So, here’s a complete update — straight from the ground level.

🚨 What Happened to the ₹249 Jio Plan?

Until recently, Jio offered a popular ₹249 prepaid plan that provided:

• ✅ 1GB/day data

• ✅ Validity: 28 days

• ✅ Unlimited voice calls

• ✅ 100 SMS/day

• ✅ Free Jio apps access

However, in August 2025, this plan has been officially discontinued.
It’s no longer visible in the MyJio App or JioPOS Lite (Retailer app).
This change is applicable pan-India.

📱 What Is the New Minimum Jio Recharge Plan?

After the removal of the ₹249 plan, the new base plan starts from:

• 💡 ₹299 Plan

  • 1.5GB/day

  • 28 days validity

  • Unlimited calls & SMS

  • Free Jio apps

So while it’s a ₹50 jump, users now get 50% more data per day.

🔄 What Are the Other Options?

Plan	Data	Validity	Price
₹209	1GB/day	21 days	Budget-friendly
₹299	1.5GB/day	28 days	New base plan
₹349	2GB/day	28 days	For heavy users

🤝 As a Retailer, Here's What You Should Do

📢 Final Thoughts

The telecom industry is always evolving. As a Jio Retailer, it’s important to stay updated and keep customers informed.
The removal of the ₹249 plan may disappoint some users, but the ₹299 plan offers better value in terms of data.
