Reliance Jio has quietly updated its Rs. 1,029 prepaid plan, replacing the 56-day Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition subscription with a more generous 84-day subscription to Amazon Prime Lite. The change, reflected on Jio's official website, has not been formally announced by the company.
Jio's entertainment plans offer a bundle of OTT (over-the-top) services, including JioTV Premium, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. The switch to Amazon Prime Lite provides users with more value, as it offers several benefits over the previous Prime Video Mobile Edition.

Prime Video Mobile Edition: Limited to a single mobile device, offers standard definition streaming, and is available in select countries through partners and directly from Amazon in India.
