Sometimes a full-fledged recharge is not really necessary. Instead, there are moments when users simply need a small top-up to get through a day of streaming, a few extra video calls, or some additional browsing. That is where low-cost data packs come in. While they may not offer long validity, they can still be practical, especially when a regular plan is running low.
With that in mind, here is a look at five data packs under Rs 100 that can help users stay connected without spending too much.
Rs 21 Jio – New 4G Feature Phone Pack
A low-cost entry pack meant for users buying a new 4G feature phone, it includes unlimited voice calls, 0.5GB data per day and 15 SMS with four days validity. Since the validity is short, it works better as a starter recharge plan rather than a regular plan.
Rs 49 Airtel – Instant Data Pack
Airtel’s short-duration pack generally offers unlimited data for one day, subject to fair usage limits. It is for users who need extra data without opting for a larger recharge. As a result, it can be useful for downloads or app updates.

Rs 22 Vi – One-day Data Boost
This add-on pack offers 1GB of data with one day’s validity, making it suitable for quick top-ups. This pack can come in handy when a daily data limit runs out earlier than expected. Because of its low price, it suits light browsing, messaging and occasional video streaming.
Rs 59 BSNL – Weekly Combo
This pack includes unlimited voice calls, 1GB of data per day, and seven days of validity. It offers a more balanced mix of calling and data compared to many lower-priced packs. It may appeal to users who want a short weekly recharge instead of a one-day add-on.
