OpenAI Offers Free ChatGPT Plus for One Month in India: How to Claim One Month at Rs. 0

OpenAI is offering a limited-time free trial of ChatGPT Plus to select users in India, allowing eligible accounts to access the paid plan for one month without paying the usual Rs. 1,999 monthly fee. The promotion provides access to higher usage limits, newer models and additional features, including expanded memory, Sora-powered video generation and Codex.

However, the offer is account-specific and may not appear for users who have previously subscribed to certain paid plans. Users must also provide payment details and should check the renewal terms before activating the trial.

How to Claim Free ChatGPT Plus in India

Eligible users can claim the offer directly through the ChatGPT subscription page. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Sign in to ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT and sign in using the account on which you want to claim the promotion.

Step 2: Open the subscription page

Go to the ChatGPT upgrade or subscription section and look for the ChatGPT Plus plan.

Step 3: Check your eligibility

If the promotion is available for your account, the Plus plan should display a "Claim free offer" button. The regular Rs. 1,999 monthly price will be crossed out, with the promotional price shown as Rs. 0.

Step 4: Claim the offer

Click "Claim free offer" and continue through the checkout process.

Step 5: Add a payment method

OpenAI requires payment information even when users are claiming the free trial. Supported options include cards and net banking. UPI may also be displayed, although it may not work for every user.

Step 6: Complete the subscription

Follow the on-screen instructions to activate ChatGPT Plus. Once activated, the promotional period should begin immediately.

Who Is Eligible for the Free ChatGPT Plus Trial?

The promotion does not appear to be available to every account. Based on testing, the offer may be targeted at users who have not previously subscribed to a paid ChatGPT plan.

For example, an account that had not previously subscribed to a paid plan displayed the free offer, while an account that had previously subscribed to ChatGPT Go showed the regular Rs. 1,999 price instead.

If your ChatGPT Plus page shows Rs. 1,999 instead of Rs. 0, the promotion is likely unavailable for your account.

ChatGPT Plus Features and Benefits

ChatGPT Plus offers several advantages over the free tier, including higher usage limits and access to additional AI capabilities. Subscribers also get expanded memory, priority access to newer models, Sora-powered video generation and access to Codex.

The subscription can be particularly useful for users who frequently use ChatGPT for writing, research, coding, content creation and other demanding tasks.

Important: Check Auto-Renewal

The free offer is limited to the promotional period. After the first month, the subscription can renew at the regular Rs. 1,999 monthly price. Users who do not want to continue should cancel the subscription or automatic renewal mandate before the free period ends.
