Telecom major Airtel has come up with special benefits for low-income customers on its network to help them stay connected during the ongoing pandemic.

As a one-time gesture, Airtel will give Rs 49 pack free-of-cost to over 55 million low-income customers. The pack offers a talk-time of Rs 38 and 100 MB data with a validity of 28 days. Through this gesture, Airtel will empower over 55 million customers, mostly in rural areas, to stay connected and have access to critical information when needed, it said.

At this time, customers have an increased requirement of staying connected. Keeping this in mind, Airtel prepaid customers buying the Rs 79 recharge coupon will now get double the benefit. This will make it easier for them to stay connected at a difficult time.
