Ufone has officially announced a major update to its pricing structure. The telecom operator has revised the tariffs for two of its major standard prepaid offers. Specifically, the prices for the ‘SC Lite’ package and the ‘Weekly Mega Offer’ will see a noticeable increase. These new rates will take effect later this week, on September 26. In sharp contrast, the mobile operator is bringing significant relief to beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). Ufone has introduced heavily subsidized package prices exclusively for BISP beneficiaries.
Standard Packages See a Steep Hike
The latest tariff revisions primarily target regular prepaid users. Ufone will increase the price of its SC Lite package to Rs. 1,700. Additionally, the popular Weekly Mega Offer will now cost Rs. 730. The company has already notified its customers regarding these revised tariffs and upcoming package details.
Here is a complete breakdown of the revised standard tariffs:
| Package Name | Revised Price | Data Volume | Ufone/PTCL/Telenor Minutes | Other-Network Minutes | SMS |
| SC Lite | Rs. 1,700 | 10 GB | 2,000 | 200 | 2,000 |
| Weekly Mega Offer | Rs. 730 | 100 GB (+ 50 GB Social Data) | 10,000 | 1,500 | 10,000 |
Ufone Subsidizes Package Prices for BISP Beneficiaries
Standard users will certainly face higher telecom costs. However, Ufone has announced significantly lower-priced options specifically for BISP beneficiaries. These special monthly and quarterly offers start from as low as Rs 50. Consequently, individuals enrolled under the social protection programme will retain access to substantially lower-cost telecom services.
Here are the complete details of the newly subsidized BISP packages:
| Package Name | Price | Validity | Data Volume | Ufone/PTCL/Telenor Minutes | Other-Network Minutes | SMS |
| BISP Mahana Call Offer | Rs. 50 | 30 Days | None | 500 | None | Included |
| BISP Mahana Call Plus | Rs. 100 | 30 Days | 10 GB | 1,000 | None | Included |
| BISP Quarterly Offer | Rs. 300 | 30 Days | 30 GB | 3,000 | 150 | Included |
Why Are Prices Changing?
You might wonder why these sudden changes are happening. Currently, telecom operators continue to adjust their overall pricing structures. Ultimately, this industry-wide shift comes as a direct result of rising operating costs. Furthermore, networks are experiencing an ever-increasing consumer demand for mobile data and digital connectivity.
Through this pricing strategy, Ufone highlights a sharp difference between standard prepaid tariffs and subsidized plans. This allows the company to manage rising expenses while actively protecting vulnerable groups through the BISP initiative.
