ChatGPT: ChatGPT Go is now free in India! But will those who paid get a refund? Learn what OpenAI said...
ChatGPT Go is now free in India: ChatGPT Go subscriptions are now completely free in India, and this offer is available not only to new users but also to existing users. If you've already purchased a subscription plan, you don't need to worry about canceling it. You can enjoy the plan for free until your next billing date. Let's find out how...
What will happen for users with existing subscriptions?
OpenAI has clarified that if you purchased ChatGPT Go via the web or Android (Google Play Store), you don't need to cancel your subscription. Your next billing date will be advanced by 12 months within the next week. However, your account must be in good standing—meaning there are no pending payments. If you already subscribed through the Apple App Store, you'll need to view the redemption option via a link.
What is ChatGPT Go and what does it offer?
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI's most affordable subscription plan, launched earlier this year at ₹399 (for 12 months). This plan offers users 10 times faster access to the GPT-5 model and 10 times more image generation than the free plan. Now, with this free update, users can upgrade from a regular free account to this plan.
Separate Redemption Process for Apple Users
If you purchased a ChatGPT Go subscription through the Apple App Store, OpenAI says you'll need to check a link to initiate the redemption process. Your next billing date will be moved forward 12 months based on your active subscription. Note that if your account has had a previous payment decline or failed payment, this promotion will not be immediately available.
Other AI Subscription Offers
Following the free launch of ChatGPT Go, other companies in India have also updated their AI subscription offers. For example, Reliance Industries' Jio announced a free Google AI Pro subscription for 1.5 years, while Bharti Airtel offered a free Perplexity Pro subscription for one year. This clearly demonstrates the growing competition in the AI subscription market, providing users with better options.
