Taking the SS from the Airtel website:

View attachment 54099


Explanation:

Group A:
  • MRP 155, 179, 199, 289, 296, 455, 489, 509, 1799 which offer unlimited voice with fixed Data are accretive only on the same individual price point i.e when current and subsequent recharges are done with same MRP.
In this group A,
stacking is allowed only on the same plan... i.e. if our current plan is 1799, then we can only stack up using 1799..
While we are on 1799, if we recharge with any other plan other than 1799 then all our current validity gone down the drain and the new plan kicks in immediately .....
So , people need to be very careful who are on one of the above plans.. they must recharge with the same plan to get stack up feature kick in..


Group B:

  • MRPs 209, 239, 265, 299, 319, 359, 399, 479, 499, 519, 549, 666, 699, 719, 779, 839, 869, 999, 1499, 2999, 3359 which offer unlimited voice with daily Data are accretive within this defined group of MRPs which offer Daily data benefits.
In this Group B, we can stack up using any other plan which has the feature of "Daily Data Limits".. so it seems we can mix and match and they will stack up on top of another...


In all cases, total validity should not cross rolling 730 days...

Read this post now when I did 1799 over 455 and lost my 39 days of validity 😭.

Now that I have lost it, can I do another 1799 over my 1799 (363 days left)+ 455 (37 days left) plan?

Your mobile recharge packs could get far more expensive from this date!
Telecom companies eyeing hike of about 25% for mobile recharges post ending the current elections. Plans will get revamped not by a little but a whopping 25% hike. For perspective, Vi recharge for 1.5GB daily for 84 days unlimited calls pack costs ₹719/- it will be around ₹899/- post 25% hike! Be ready to shell atleast ₹300/- per month anyhow for continuous usage. While 2GB per day for 84 days costs ₹839/- post hike will be ₹1049/-. Jio reported ARPU( Average Revenue Per User) of ₹182/- per month this March. Everyone eyeing for atleast 16% increase in ARPU by this hike. As after non usage by 3 months companies can stop the service and you'll lose the number, just to keep sim active, you'll be shelling out ₹200-225 per month anyhow! Citing heavy investments in 5G infrastructure companies want to break even ASAP.
It is advisable, to recharge long plans like atleast 6 months to a year recharges.
They didn't talked about Broadband, but I feel they'll get increased too! So recharge your Broadband, if the connection is Prepaid.

It means that if you are on a 1799 plan for 365 days and as in your case 231 days of validity is left then you can do another 1799 recharge to get a total of 596 days of validity. But if you do another one it will be 961 days which is greater than 730 so you will not be recharged more than 596 days and the amount if deducted will be refunded.
