Reliance Jio has revised five prepaid recharge plans that come bundled with one year of Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription. The recharge plans in question were formally not included in the tariff hike that Jio introduced last week. As a result of the revision, Jio is now offering Disney+ Hotstar Mobile to its prepaid subscribers for as low as Rs. 601 a month, up from the earlier Rs. 499 plan. The revised plans are also costing up to 20 percent more to users.
As per the details available on the Jio site, the Rs. 601 prepaid plan brings 3GB high-speed data per day for 28 days and includes Disney+ Hotstar Mobile for a year, worth Rs. 499. The plan also carries an additional 6GB high-speed data access and brings unlimited voice calls as well as 100 SMS per day. Overall, the benefits with the Rs. 601 prepaid plan are identical to the Rs. 499 plan.
The next in the series is the Rs. 799 prepaid recharge plan that is the revision of the Rs. 666 plan. It brings 2GB of daily high-speed data for 56 days, along with unlimited voice calling and 100 daily SMS message benefits. The plan includes an annual Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription.
Jio has also revised the Rs. 888 prepaid recharge plan with the Rs. 1,066 plan that brings the Disney+ Hotstar Mobile annual subscription, along with benefits including 2GB high-speed data per day, additional 5GB data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS messages on a daily basis. The plan comes with 84 days of validity.
The operator has also brought the Rs. 3,119 prepaid recharge plan that is the alternation of the Rs. 2,599. It brings Disney+ Hotstar Mobile for a year, along with benefits including 2GB daily and 10GB additional high-speed data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS messages per day for 365 days.
In addition to the regular plans, Jio has revised the data-only 549 prepaid recharge plan with the new Rs. 659 plan. It brings Disney+ Hotstar Mobile for a year, alongside 1.5GB high-speed daily data access for 56 days.

Jio originally brought its prepaid recharge plans with Disney+ Hotstar Mobile in late August. The latest revision did not officially coexist with the launch of the recent tariff hike which took place last week. However, details available on Web archives suggest that it might have come alongside.
The Jio website has listed the revised plans under the Cricket Plans section. Third-party recharge sources including Google Pay and Paytm are reflecting the revision.
