Yes ₹149/- is the minimum monthly plan which one has to choose after 84 days to encash ₹201/- top up voucher (top up voucher cannot be used standalone).
They have now modified their offer as the demand increase. In the beginning they were giving direct cash discount before the official announcement of the scheme from the Jio stores. With the official announcement they came out with multiple ₹201/- top up vouchers and now it is not clear & seems as mentioned that only one voucher will be clubbed with every recharge of ₹149/- or above if recharged before 31st March 2018.
Scheme does not look interesting anymore.
