In the case of calls made from Reliance IndiaMobile to any cellular network, the tariffs will be charged at Rs 1.20 per minute up to 50 km for local, intra-circle and inter-circle calls irrespective of distance.

For a call made from the Reliance IndiaMobile network to the fixed line network, the tariffs will be Re 1 per minute for local, inter and intra-circle calls up to 50 km, the statement said and added that Rs 1.90 per minute will be charged for both intra-circle calls above 50 km and inter-circle calls within 50-200 km range.
