Jio's new postpaid plans
For postpaid users, the rude shock seems to be curtailed validity, as all plans now have a validity of 1 billing cycle (30 days) only. Before this tariff revision, Jio offered validities of up to three months with its postpaid plans. Moreover, there is a security deposit with each postpaid plan now, and post-FUP speed will be 64kbps.

Moving to the plans now, the Rs. 309 plan still remains in the postpaid listing, with 30GB data doled out at 1GB per day; the security deposit for the pack is Rs. 400. Next is the Rs. 409 pack, with Rs. 500 deposit and 20GB data without any daily restrictions on consumption. The Rs. 459 plan doesn't seem to be an option for postpaid users.

Jio's new prepaid plans
The Rs. 399 plan under the new tariff regime offers 1GB data and unlimited calls, free SMSes, and access to Jio apps, with a validity of 70 days. At this price, the company offered 84-day validity till now. Now it is the Rs. 459 recharge that offers 84-day validity, 1GB 4G data per day, and other freebies. The validity of the Rs. 509 plan has also been reduced from 56 days to 49 days, with high-speed data still capped at 2GB per day. For the Rs. 309 recharge, which is available only via the MyJio app or the recharge page on the website, you will get 1GB data per day with validity of 49 days, down from 56 days; interestingly, the Rs. 309 pack is not mention on the Jio website under the list of plans for prepaid users.

In high-value recharges, the data cap of the Rs. 999, Rs. 1,999, and Rs. 4,999 has been reduced as well, while their validities remain the same at 90 days, 180 days, and 360 days, respectively. The Rs. 999 recharge pack now offers 60GB data instead of 90GB, and Rs. 1,999 plan gives 125GB data, not 155GB.

Everyone knew that price they had offered was not sustainable. But now with 459 plan, they will be able to achieve the arpu of 153+. All the game revolves around arpu. Since the plan offer with JioPhone was 153, this price rise was bound to happen. Moreover they gave ample opportunity to everyone to do advance recharge of 399 before 18th.
