A number of users in India are taking to the internet to report a shocking new offer from Jio and JioHotstar, which seems to include premium subscriptions for ₹1. Screenshots shared on X indicate successful payments and active Premium accounts offering ad-free streaming in 4K on up to four screens. While exciting, the deal has not been confirmed by Jio, and some reports indicate it could be part of a limited rollout or an internal test.

What You Get with a ₹1 Subscription

The Re 1 subscription will appear to allow access to all of JioHotstar's Premium content, which means users can stream movies, TV shows, sports, and other programmes seamlessly without any interruption. This subscription supports up to four concurrent logins on different devices and comes with 4K resolution and Dolby Vision along with Dolby Atmos to provide the ultimate audio-visual experience. Compatibility spans mobile devices, TVs, tablets, and laptops to provide the best viewing experience regardless of user type.

For users who regularly watch sports or binge web series, this could mean a level of streaming quality and convenience previously reserved for higher-paying plans.

Who Can Get the Offer

Surprisingly, the subscription offer might not be restricted to Jio SIM users alone. Many social media posts hint that even non-Jio subscribers have reportedly been able to activate the subscription for ₹ 1. A few accounts have even claimed they got a one-year Premium subscription for a single rupee, but it has not been officially confirmed. It seems that this is a targeted experiment or limited internal test, only with select accounts, for the sake of signing up more subscribers and testing interest among consumers.

How to Check Eligibility for the ₹ 1 Plan

If you want to see whether you can take advantage of this offer, follow these steps:

1. Download or open the JioHotstar app on your phone.

2. Log in with a mobile number that does not have an active JioHotstar subscription.

3. Tap the icon at the bottom of the app that says 'My Space'.

4. Click on 'Subscribe' to view plan details.

5. Check if the Premium plan is listed at ₹1.

6. If eligible, select the plan and pay ₹1 using any standard method like UPI, card, or wallet. Your Premium subscription should activate immediately.

The steps above work for both Android and iOS users and are an easy way to see whether the offer is available for your account.

Why the Offer Matters

This ₹1 plan looks like a strategic move by Jio to gain a better user base in growing competition across all streaming platforms. Even if it is a test for a short period, it has already created huge buzz online and may result in paid subscriptions in the future.

At the same time, some people remain sceptical due to the fact that there is no official announcement. The exact time that promotion may exist and where it would be valid is not known. Until Jio confirms this promotion, its availability can't be accounted for.

The Bottom Line For now, interested users can try the offering via the MyJio app or JioHotstar website, though mileage may vary. If it works, they get full Premium at a steal, which makes this quite an experiment in customer engagement and digital strategy. Whether a test or a permanent promotion, the ₹1 plan underlines just how companies are looking at innovative ways to capture consumer eyeballs in a fiercely competitive market.
