Reliance Jio stirred up the Indian telecommunication market since it became public in 2016. They became popular overnight among Indians due to the services they provide at lower costs than any other operator. It is been only a year since Jio was made public and they now have more than 138.60 million subscribers with market share of 10.83% .
Recently, the most subscribed Jio Plan is the Dhan Dhana Dhan Plan which costs Rs. 399 . A few days back, Jio announced Diwali Cashback Offer to those who recharged Rs. 399 plan by 18th October. The cashback included eight Rs. 50 Jio vouchers which can be used by the customer after November 15. There were speculations that Jio might hike price after that and so did they.
