ChatGPT go is an affordable subscription plan at ₹399/month.
OpenAI is running a promotion for ChatGPT Go free for 12 months for users in India (promotion began November 4, 2025). Here’s a step-by-step process to claim it.
1. Sign in to your ChatGPT account on the web or open the ChatGPT mobile app. (I was using the Android app)
2. You will see a banner at the bottom of the page on the mobile app or find the promotion / upgrade area — typically Profile → Settings → Manage subscription or the “Upgrade” / “Go” banner in the app or web UI. Redeem the promotional offer there.
3. You will be asked to add a payment method (card / UPI) to activate the free year — this is used for verification and to enable automatic billing. A transaction of ₹2 will be processed which will be refunded soon after. (Used Google pay on Android app via Play Store purchase)
4. If you don’t want to be charged after the free year, mark your calendar to cancel before the trial ends, or turn off auto-renewal in your subscription settings. (If you subscribed via Apple/Google, follow their cancelation flow.)
5. Existing paid Go subscribers in India: OpenAI’s promotion notes that existing subscribers may be automatically credited or upgraded as part of the offer — check the official help page or your billing emails.
