Want to try ChatGPT Plus without paying ₹1,999?:Some users in India getting a 1-month free trial; check eligibility and how to claim the offer

For many ChatGPT users, the Plus plan can be useful for getting higher usage limits and access to additional features. Normally, the subscription costs ₹1,999 per month in India. However, OpenAI is currently showing a limited-time one-month free offer to some users. The important part is that the offer is not available to everyone. Whether you get it depends on your ChatGPT account. How to check if you can get ChatGPT Plus for free You do not need to enter a special promo code or visit a separate website to check the offer. You can find it directly inside ChatGPT. Follow these steps: If your account shows ₹0 for the first month, the free offer is available to you. You still need to add a payment method Although the first month is free, OpenAI requires users to enter payment details while signing up. You can use options such as a credit or debit card and net banking. UPI is also shown as a payment option, although attempts to activate the free trial through UPI were unsuccessful multiple times. So, if UPI does not work for you, you may want to try another available payment method.

Who is eligible for the free Plus trial? The promotion appears to be available only to selected accounts. There does not seem to be a single eligibility rule that applies to everyone. For example, the free offer was visible on an account that had never subscribed to a paid ChatGPT plan. However, another account that had previously used ChatGPT Go did not show the free trial and displayed the regular ₹1,999 monthly price instead. So, the easiest way to check is to open the Plus subscription page on your own account. If you see ₹0 for the promotional period, you can claim the offer. If it shows ₹1,999, the free trial is likely not available for your account. Remember to cancel if you don’t want to pay ₹1,999 The free access is only for the promotional period. Once the first month ends, the subscription may automatically renew at the regular ₹1,999 per month. If you only want to try Plus for free, make sure you cancel the subscription before the trial ends. You can also cancel the automatic renewal mandate if one was created during checkout. It is worth checking the renewal details before completing the subscription.
