ChatGPT Go Free for 12 Months: India Offer

OpenAI has unveiled a groundbreaking offer for users in India: 12 months of ChatGPT Go completely free. Starting November 4, 2025, this limited-time promotion grants access to GPT-5, advanced image generation, enhanced file analysis, and custom GPT creation—premium features usually reserved for paid subscribers. Whether you’re a newcomer, a free-tier user, or an existing ChatGPT Go subscriber, this promotion marks OpenAI’s boldest push into one of the fastest-growing AI markets in the world. Here’s your comprehensive guide to eligibility, redemption, and what to expect from ChatGPT Go.

Who Can Claim the Free ChatGPT Go Offer

The offer is exclusive to users located in India. Eligible participants include:

• New ChatGPT users
• Existing free-plan users
• Current ChatGPT Go subscribers with accounts in good standing

Users subscribed to other plans, such as Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise, must first cancel their subscriptions and wait for their billing period to end.

Important: All users need to provide a payment method (credit card or UPI) to enroll, though no charges will apply during the 12-month free period. UPI users may see a temporary ₹1 charge per billing cycle, which will be refunded, required only for processing purposes.

How to Redeem Your Free ChatGPT Go Subscription

On the Web (New Users)

1. Sign up for ChatGPT or log in to your existing free account.
2. Click “Try ChatGPT Go” or navigate to Settings → Account → Try ChatGPT Go.

Guidelines for Existing ChatGPT Subscribers

Subscribers via Web or Google Play

• No cancellation is required. OpenAI will automatically extend your next billing date by 12 months, provided your account remains in good standing.

Subscribers via Apple App Store

• Due to App Store rules, you must cancel your current subscription, wait for the billing period to end, and re-subscribe during the promotional period.
• The 12-month free period starts from the next billing cycle after re-subscription.

Note: Users in the middle of a billing cycle will still be charged for that period; the promotion applies to the following cycle.

ChatGPT Go Features and Benefits

ChatGPT Go is positioned between the free and premium Plus tiers. Its key features include:

• Canceling during the promotion ends access at the close of your current billing cycle
• The offer is available for a limited time only and can be withdrawn without notice
• Each account can redeem the promotion once

After the 12-Month Free Period

Once the 12-month promotional period ends, users will automatically be charged the standard ChatGPT Go fee of ₹399/month unless the subscription is canceled before the next billing cycle begins.
