After private telcos, BSNL extends free validity till May 5

State-run telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has extended the validity of their subscribers for free till May 5, 2020, whose validity has expired amid the ongoing lockdown.

Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have already extended validity of their respective low-ARPU customers in the country till May 3.

“In view of hardships faced by the subscribers whose validity has expired during the lock down period and are having almost zero balance, BSNL as a humane gesture, is extending the validity of all such subscribers up to May 5, 2020, free of cost, so that the subscribers continue to receive incoming calls,” the telco said in a statement.
