The new BSNL Rs. 768 combo plan offers 3GB of data for 90 days and Rs. 768 credited to your account for voice calls. The BSNL 599 plan on the other hand adds a credit of Rs. 507 for all purposes (calls, SMS, data) and Rs. 279 credit exclusively for voice calls. This plan is valid for 30 days. BSNL is also giving additional benefits for the Rs. 768 recharge pack. If you do a recharge of Rs. 110, Rs. 210 and Rs. 290, you'll get a balance of Rs. 115, Rs. 220, and Rs. 310, respectively.
