Social media is filled with screenshots claiming that Jio and Disney+ Hotstar are offering a full Premium subscription for just ₹1 — complete with ad-free 4K streaming and multi-device access. The viral posts have sparked curiosity across X (formerly Twitter), but there’s still no official confirmation from either company. Reports suggest this could be part of a limited rollout or internal testing targeting select users. Some claim to have received a one-year plan for ₹1, though it’s likely a 30-day trial. If it appears in your app via official channels, it might be worth trying but proceed cautiously and avoid third-party links.

What the ₹1 JioHotstar Premium Offer Includes

According to multiple users on X, the ₹1 offer appears to unlock all standard Disney+ Hotstar Premium features, including:

  • Ad-free streaming across movies, TV shows, and sports.
  • 4K playback with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support.
  • Access on up to four devices simultaneously.
  • Cross-platform use, including mobile, tablet, smart TV, and laptop.

Essentially, it gives you the full Premium experience at the lowest possible price if you’re among those who can access the trial.

Who Can Get the JioHotstar ₹1 Premium Offer?

Interestingly, users report that the offer is not limited to Jio SIM customers. Some users claim they activated it with non-Jio numbers as well.

In certain screenshots, users even claim to have received a one-year Premium plan for ₹1, though this remains unverified. Early indications suggest this might be part of a limited rollout or internal testing phase, targeting a small set of random accounts.

How the ₹1 JioHotstar Plan Appears in the App

Based on viral screenshots, users can reportedly choose between:

  • A 3-month subscription for ₹1, or
  • An annual plan for ₹1

However, the fine print mentions that this trial is valid for only 30 days. Once the trial expires, subscribers will likely be charged the full plan amount unless they cancel or opt out.

How to Check If You’re Eligible

Here’s how you can check whether the offer is available for your account:

  1. Open or download the JioHotstar app on your phone or TV.
  2. Log in using your mobile number or email ID (make sure you don’t have an active subscription).
  3. Tap on ‘My Space’ and then select ‘Subscribe’.
  4. If the ₹1 Premium plan appears in the list, select it and complete payment via UPI, card, or wallet.
  5. If eligible, the Premium benefits activate instantly.

Remember: If the offer doesn’t show up in your app, you’re likely not part of the test group.

What’s Going On Behind the Scenes

At present, there’s no official confirmation from either Jio or Disney+ Hotstar regarding this offer. Given Jio’s past record of surprise promotions, including free data rollouts and trial content offers this could be a pilot program or a temporary backend glitch that enabled a test plan to go live for select users.

Industry observers speculate that Jio and Disney+ Hotstar might be testing new bundled subscription models, especially ahead of the festive season and major sporting events.

What should you do?

While the ₹1 JioHotstar Premium plan sounds too good to ignore, users should exercise caution. Ensure that:

  • You only make payments through official app listings (not third-party links).
  • You verify the transaction via the Disney+ Hotstar app or website.
  • You track when the trial period ends, to avoid automatic renewals.
