TRAI has ordered to cancel the Jio Summer Surprise, which will end the operator's free services. Jio offered its customers free 4G data for three months just with Jio Prime Subscription of Rs. 99 and a recharge of Rs. 303 only. But after the TRAI orders, Jio users have to start paying for services much earlier than expected.
If you choose not to avail the Jio summer offer, you will soon have to start paying for all services except calls. On March 31 - the original last day for Jio Prime enrolment - the operator had provided a grace period of 15 days to customers who had not signed up yet; in this grace period, the free services were to continue. But with the TRAI order to cancel Jio 'Summer Surprise' offer, it is not clear if this grace period has also been withdrawn. So if the grace period is rolled back sometime soon, you will have to start paying for services as a non-Prime user.
The offer was cancelled by TRAI because it did not comply with the regulatory framework. The last date for Jio Prime subscriptions will still continue to be April 15 as the TRAI order does not affect it.
