Introductory offer for new Airtel 4G customers

In the bid to attract customers towards its 4G services, Airtel has also announced an introductory offer which will provide cashback to users to opt for a long term plan. Following are its details:

Rs. 147 cashback every month (for 6 months) on the 999 plan.

These are the initial prices at a time when Airtel has the monopoly over 4G services in India.
