BSNL, the state-owned telecom service provider, has announced a new scheme letting users share their data with up to four other users. This so-called “community charging” seems like a bid to win back pre-paid users.

There were reports that this offer will include 20GB of mobile data for just Rs 50. However, BSNL has since denies these reports. In a statement given to Digit, a senior BSNL official said the state-owner service provider had no such plans.
