Jio Mobile Recharge Plans: If you're on the lookout for an affordable prepaid recharge under ₹500, Jio has a solid lineup of plans packed with data, unlimited calls, SMS benefits, and even access to OTT services. Whether you're a casual user who just needs basic connectivity or someone who streams content regularly, there's something here for everyone.
To help you decide, we’ve broken down the best Jio prepaid recharge plans under ₹500 that offer a minimum of 20 days of validity and come with comprehensive benefits—no barebones data vouchers or ultra-short plans included.
Jio Prepaid Plans Under ₹250
Starting with budget-friendly options, the ₹209 plan is one of the most affordable. It gives you 1GB of daily data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS/day for 22 days. It also includes free access to JioTV and JioCloud.
If you’d prefer a full 28-day validity, the ₹249 plan gives you the same benefits with a slightly longer run time.
Plans with More Daily Data
Moving up the ladder, the ₹239 and ₹299 plans increase your daily data to 1.5GB. While both offer unlimited calling, SMS, and JioTV/JioCloud access, the ₹299 plan adds a bonus: a 90-day JioHotstar subscription and 50 GB of JioAICloud storage.
For those who want a full one-month cycle, the ₹319 plan offers the same 1.5 GB/day data with calendar month validity.
The ₹329 recharge pack also mirrors the ₹299 benefits but swaps Hotstar for a 90-day JioSaavn Pro subscription—ideal for music lovers.
Entertainment-Focused Recharge Options
If OTT access is a priority, the ₹349 and ₹445 packs are worth a look. Both come with 2GB/day data, unlimited calls, SMS, and JioCloud/JioTV. The ₹349 plan includes 90 days of JioHotstar, while the ₹445 pack bundles access to SonyLIV, ZEE5, Lionsgate Play, Discovery+, and FanCode.
For Power Users
The ₹399 plan stands out for users who consume a lot of data. With 2.5GB/day, this 28-day pack is ideal for streaming, gaming, and video calls. It includes JioTV, JioCloud, and regular call/SMS benefits.
Fair Usage Policy (FUP) Note
After the daily high-speed data is used, speeds drop to 64 kbps for the rest of the day. If the daily SMS limit is exceeded, you’ll be charged ₹1 for local and ₹1.5 for STD messages.
Unlimited 5G Experience
Jio’s prepaid plans under ₹500 do include unlimited 5G data, but only for users on select plans. Specifically, subscribers must opt for a plan that offers at least 2GB of data per day to be eligible for Jio’s True 5G unlimited benefit.
Plans such as ₹349, ₹399, and ₹445 fall into this category. These not only provide high-speed data and standard benefits like unlimited voice calls and SMS but also unlock unlimited 5G usage on supported devices and networks—without any speed restrictions.
