The instant discount has two components - ₹50 discount for Jio prepaid users who have ₹50 cashback vouchers from Jio on recharging via MyJio application, and ₹50 instant cashback when payment is made via PhonePe within MyJio application.

Reliance Jio: 2nd anniversary
Reliance Jio earlier this month launched a Celebrations Pack under which it offered 2GB free data daily for four days to its users. The scheme is being rolled out in two phases. The company offered two vouchers of 8GB of data (2GB of free data for four days). The first voucher will be credited by September 20. The second voucher will be available in October. The company is also offering 1GB of free 4G data on buying Daily Milk chocolates.
