Good news for mobile users! The Department of Telecom (DoT) just made it way easier to switch between prepaid and postpaid plans—no more waiting for months. If you’ve ever been stuck with a plan you didn’t like, this change is for you.
What’s the New Rule?
Earlier, if you wanted to switch from prepaid to postpaid (or vice versa), you had to wait 90 days before making another change. Now, that cooling-off period has been slashed to just 30 days for the first switch.
- First switch? Wait 30 days.
- Next switches? Back to the 90-day rule.
- Need to switch again before 30/90 days? You’ll have to visit a store and complete KYC (bring your ID proof).
Why Does This Matter?
Let’s be real—plans change. Maybe you went postpaid for extra data but now want to save money with prepaid. Or maybe you’re traveling and need more flexibility. Before, you were locked in for three months. Now? Just one.

How to Switch?
- Online: Use your telecom provider’s app or website.
- Offline: Visit a store (mandatory if switching before the cooling period ends).
- OTP/KYC: Verify your details, and you’re done.
What’s Not Changing?
- KYC rules stay the same—you’ll still need ID proof.
- Security checks remain in place.
- Operators must inform you about the lock-in period before you switch.

- Next ones? 90 days.
- Need an early switch? Be ready for a store visit.
