The offer is available from 4 October to 28 October.
The price-sensitive handset market has also undergone a sea change after Jio in 2017 introduced a cheap 4G handset JioPhone with a refundable deposit of ₹1,500.
In July 2018, the company also announced another device JioPhone2 at an introductory price of ₹2,999 with an option to exchange an old feature phone for a new Jio Phone by paying just ₹501.
