Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani recently announced that from 31 March, customers of Reliance Jio LTE mobile services will have to pay for data. After inaugurating Jio for the public domain on 5 September last year, the company provided free data, voice, SMS and premium content for almost six months under its Welcome and Happy New Year offers.

Now, to enjoy benefits that are similar to the Happy New Year scheme, consumers will have to enroll for the Jio Prime Membership before 31 March. Here are the plan's details —

It is a plan with a one-time opt-in fee of ₹99 that will unlock premium plans for customers.
