Users on X (formerly Twitter) are sharing
screenshots showing they’ve reportedly unlocked a Premium subscription of
JioHotstar for just Re 1. The posts show successful payments and active
accounts with full access. While neither Reliance Jio nor JioHotstar have
issued an official confirmation, some reports suggest this might be a limited
rollout or internal test phase.
What Users
Claim They’re Getting
According to those who appear to have
activated the offer, the Re 1 Premium plan includes:
Ad-free streaming across movies, shows and
sports.
4K playback with support for Dolby Vision and
Dolby Atmos.
Multi-device access up to
four streams simultaneously.
Support across mobile, TV, tablet and laptop
platforms.
Essentially, subscribers say they’re getting the full premium experience at a
tiny cost.
Who Can
Access It? The Unclear Eligibility
What stands out is that some non-Jio users
claim to have accessed the offer too – meaning it might not be strictly for Jio
SIM holders. In a few instances, users reported getting a one-year premium plan
for Re 1, although these claims remain unverified. The offer seems selective,
possibly a pilot targeting specific accounts. According to a shared screenshot,
one version of the offer allowed: “3 months for Re 1 or annual for Re 1, valid
only for 30 days” suggesting the Re 1 price might apply just for
the first month, with renewal at full price afterwards.
How to
Check Your Eligibility
If you’d like to see whether you’re eligible,
here’s how to check:
Open or download the JioHotstar app.
Log in using a number without an active
premium subscription.
Tap on the ‘My Space’ / profile icon, then
select ‘Subscribe’.
If you see a plan priced at Re 1, choose it
and proceed with payment (via UPI, card or wallet).
If eligible, your subscription should activate
almost instantly.
Keep in mind: Since this offer isn’t officially confirmed, proceed cautiously,
and check the renewal terms before committing.
What We Know
vs What We Don’t
What we know:
JioHotstar’s standard subscription plans have
been clearly documented: for example, mobile‐only ad-supported plans at about ₹
149 for three months, and a Premium tier around ₹ 1,499/year offering 4-device
4K access.
Jio has previously offered bundled promotions for
example, free 90-day JioHotstar access with a ₹ 299 prepaid recharge of Jio.
What we don’t know:
Whether the Re 1 offer is genuine, broadly
available or valid only for selected users.
The full terms and conditions: for instance,
whether it auto-renews at full price or whether it’s a genuine year-long
premium plan.
Whether the offer is officially sanctioned by
JioHotstar or is an internal test not meant for all users.
Things to
Be Careful About
As many users on Reddit point out, offers
claiming “Re 1” subscription may come with hidden terms: for instance
auto-payment at full cost after the first month.
If you see the offer, check what happens after
the initial payment: when does renewal happen, at what price, is cancellation
allowed?
Always verify through the official JioHotstar
app and website. If the offer is legitimate, it should appear in your account’s
subscription section.
Keep an eye on your bank or wallet statement
for any unexpected future charges.
Final
Thoughts
This Re 1 JioHotstar Premium offer has created
a lot of excitement and for good reason: full-premium streaming
for Re 1 is almost too good to believe. While there’s no official announcement
yet, if you see the offer in your app, it might be worth grabbing just do
so with caution and check the fine print. At the very least, this trend
suggests JioHotstar is experimenting with aggressive pricing strategies to grow
its subscriber base.
