As previously reported, this BSNL Work@Home broadband plan was initially launched in March. It was applicable across all regions in India, including the Andaman and Nicobar region. The telco had kept the deadline until first lockdown, which was April 14. But the lockdown extended and that meant people still have to work from their homes. Hence, BSNL has also extended the plan till May 19.
