Taking competition to its rivals's camp state-run telecom service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has made an irresistible offer of 20 GB pack of 3G data for just Rs50. Not just that, this can be shared by four others anywhere in India for free.

Against this, telecom operators in the private sector currently offer charge Rss160-250 for 1 GB of 3G data.

BSNL is offering this service with a subsidy from the government's 'Digital India' scheme that aims to promote the use of internet across various sections of people and the different areas of the country.

BSNL's data pack and the prospects of competitive pricing by Reliance Jio, which will soon be launching 4G services across the country could force the other players in the market to slash data rates.
