Jio will cut the prices of its plans with 1GB data per day by up to Rs. 60 as part of a new Happy New Year 2018 offer, a source close to the matter has informed Gadgets 360. This will bring down the base price of Jio plans with 1GB data per day to Rs. 149, down from the current Rs. 199. Interestingly, this move will nullify the tariff revision implemented by the operator in October. Apart from this price cut, Jio will also launch a host of plans with 1.5GB data per day as part of the exercise. These changes will come into effect on Tuesday, January 9 and the first of many such announcements to come.

Starting Tuesday, the Rs. 199, Rs. 399, Rs. 459 and Rs. 499 Jio plans will cost Rs. 149, Rs. 349, Rs. 399 and Rs. 449, respectively. Details of the plans, such as the data allocation, calling, and SMS benefits as well as access to free apps, will remain the same as before.

The new 1.5GB data per day plans the operator is bringing in are priced at Rs. 198, Rs. 398, Rs. 448, and Rs. 498. These are the price points of the 1GB data per day plan, meaning consumers are essentially getting 50 percent more data at roughly the same price.

It is not yet clear when the price cuts will end, but more clarity can be expected on Tuesday. The move will come into effect just days before the ongoing Jio promotion with cashback and vouchers of up to Rs. 3,300 ends. The operator has 160 million users across the country, and has been dictating market terms since its launch. In the past few weeks, operators have started offering more data without raising prices on certain popular recharge packs, so this move can be seen as a means to keep Jio users from moving to other networks.

Jio will offer the cashback in various ways, for instance, in the form of MyJio vouchers, shopping vouchers and more. Note: The maximum cashback that you can get is up to Rs 3,300. Let's make this simple for you on how this cashback offer actually works.

Remember Jio introduced another similar offer called a "Triple Cashback" offer last month? Under this offer, Jio offered a cashback of up to Rs 2,599 on recharge of Rs 399 or above plan. With the Triple Cashback offer, Jio offered 100 per cent cashback to its users, but that's not the case with the new Surprise Cashback offer. To recall, the Triple Cashback offer was earlier valid until November 25, but now Jio has extended this offer by one more month, which is until December 25.

The New Year Surprise Cashback offer will be effective on all Rs 399 or above recharges done before January 15, 2018. Under Rs 399 plan, Jio offers 70GB of 4G data for 70 days -- with 1GB of daily data limit. Like the other Jio plans, it also offers unlimited voice calls to local and roaming numbers -- to both Jio and other networks.

Here's how the Surprise Cashback works -

First, if you plan to recharge your Jio number via MyJio app, Jio will offer cash back of Rs 400. The cashback will be made in the form of MyJio cashback vouchers. There's no mention on when will Jio credit the voucher, but all that is known is that it will be credited to your MyJio app and will be in the form of eight vouchers of Rs. 50. After the voucher is credited to your account, you can head on to the "My Vouchers" section of your MyJio app and redeem it on your next recharge. It seems, you can redeem one Rs 50 voucher at a time -- which means that you'll get the total Rs 400 cashback over a span of next 8 recharges.

Reliance Jio announced to extend its triple cash back offer which was announced last month. This is the second time the company has extended the validity of the plan. Earlier, the expiry date was extended until December 15, but now users can avail the plan till December 25, 2017.
​
The special offer for the Prime customers includes triple cashback of up to Rs 2,599 on every recharge of Rs 399 or above.

Here is how it works:
1) Jio will give Rs 400 cashback in the form of eight vouchers of Rs 50. These vouchers can be used to deduct Rs 50 while purchasing future recharge packs on MyJio app or www.jio.com. Users cannot use multiple of these vouchers for a single recharge, meaning they will have to make eight recharges for utilising these vouchers completely.

2) In addition to the Jio cashback vouchers, if you do the recharge using digital wallets, you will get cashback there as well. For instance, if a person joins the Jio network as a new user and use Amazon Pay to buy a Rs 459 recharge, they will receive the vouchers worth Rs 400 and Rs 99 instant cashback as Pay balance, totalling Rs 499.
