Reliance Jio Happy New Year Offer - Calling rates, validity, SIM card price and everything you need to know

Mukesh Ambani backed Reliance Jio recently announced the latest offer for Reliance Jio users – Happy New Year offer. The new offer, Happy New Year offer will be applicable for all Reliance Jio users from the first week of December. Mukseh Ambani was expected ted to announce an extension of their Welcome Offer sometime in December and the new Happy New Year offer did not really surprise a whole lot of people. Just the quickness with which it was announced came as a surprise. Since the Reliance Jio Welcome Offer was valid till December 31st, people did not expect the announcement of a new offer this early. Many had pegged at Mukesh Ambani would announce an extension of the Welcome Offer or the brand new offer on December 28th, which also happens to be Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani’s birthday. But then, the Happy New Year offer came nearly 3 weeks in advance and hey, we aren’t complaining!

The one reason many speculate the Reliance Jio Welcome Offer came earlier than expected was because the complaints made by Airtel, Vodafone and other competitor telecos to TRAI regarding Reliance Jio’s Welcome Offer. According to a TRAI ruling, no telecom operator in India can extend any promotional offer beyond 90 days. Though the Welcome Offer which Mukesh Ambani announced for Reliance Jio on September 5th was valid till December 31st, according to the TRAI mandate, it could not be extended beyond December 3rd. Though at no point of time did Reliance claim that their would be cutting short the Reliance Jio Welcome Offer  till December 3rd, Reliance Jio users were in a fix and confused as to what would be their state post December 3rd. Thus the haste in announcing the new offer which helped set everyone’s minds at ease. Mukesh Ambani launches “Reliance Jio Happy New Year” offer – all services completely free till March 2017!
