Mumbai:
Over the past week, rumour mills have brewed up some fresh new gossip
involving a lucrative offer BSNL is launching for its customer-base. The
new offer, according to social media posts, will entitle BSNL users to a
whopping 20GB of free data at just Rs 50.
While some people irrationally fell for the bait, it seems that the hard-to-believe news was a hoax.
According to numerous media reports, some people even went on to say that the offer was an initiative under one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaigns, ‘Digital India’.
While the initial offer was hard to digest, another section of netizens suggesting that the low-cost 20GB data pack could be shared among five friends was even weirder.
However, the news was soon put to rest by several media reports confirming the offer as a hoax. Sources from BSNL also said that no official declaration had been given by the company and it has no intentions of rolling out such a plan.
While the move could have been a huge crowd-puller for BSNL, the company is currently gliding along well and does not need to roll out such dicey offers.

"BSNL has not officially declared any offer like 20GB 3G data for Rs 50 and neither does the company intends to do so," he said.
A couple of days back several websites reported that BSNL has introduced a new 3G data offer in which prepaid customers will get 20GB data for just Rs 50. The offer sounded too good to be true and started to trend online.
The move from BSNL could have stunned its competitors, and helped attract new subscribers at large, but it is not the case.
The company has said that it has added an average 22 lakh new connections every month in January-March of 2015-16 on the back of rationalisation in tariff rates.
The company, which has announced a slew of measures like free incoming across the country, 80% reduction in call rates for pre-paid customers and the like, plans to intensify its efforts for better network coverage and sharpen focus on customer satisfaction.
