Good news for Reliance Jio! TRAI says nothing wrong with Dhan Dhana Dhan Offer

TRAI said that the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer is quite distinct from Jio’s Summer Surprise offer.

New Delhi: Though rival telecos have dubbed Reliance Jio's new Dhan Dhana Dhan offer an old wine in a new bottle; regulator TRAI doesn't find anything wrong in it.

As per a report in the Financial Express, “upon examination” of the Jio's latest offer TRAI “has not found anything in it that violates regulatory norms”.

Quoting sources, the FE said that offer is “quite distinct from” Jio’s Summer Surprise offer.

To recall, Jio, after nixed by TRAI for its complimentary offer, last month announced a new plan of 1GB 4G data daily for 3 months at Rs 309 for its Prime members but rival Airtel dubbed the offer as a case of "old wine in a new bottle".

Announcing its new offer, Jio had said that under the Rs 309 plan it would provide "unlimited SMS, calling and data (1GB per day at 4G speed) for 3 months on first recharge".

For Rs 509, the company is offering unlimited SMS, calling and double the data (2GB per day) for 3 months on first recharge.

"Considering the special benefits that are available to Jio Prime members, customers who were unable to subscribe to Jio Prime for any reason, can continue to do so by paying Rs?408 or Rs?608 (Jio Prime + recharge price) to avail these benefits," Jio had said.
