How I Got ChatGPT Go Plan Free for 12 Months in India
First of all, I’d like to share some exciting news — my ChatGPT account has been upgraded to the ChatGPT Go plan, completely free for the next 12 months!
Now, the big question is — how did this happen?
As many of you might have seen recently, there were several rumors circulating online claiming that OpenAI would offer the ChatGPT Go plan free for 12 months in India starting from November 4, 2025. Even some media outlets covered this news. However, since there was no official announcement or blog post from OpenAI, I was quite skeptical about it.
But today, on November 4, 2025, when I opened ChatGPT, I was surprised to see a popup saying:
“Try Go, Free — Enjoy faster responses, higher upload limits, and expanded image generation with the Go plan — all free for the next 12 months.”
Honestly, I was shocked (in a good way!). Without wasting any time, I clicked the “Try Go” button right away.
If you didn’t receive this popup, don’t worry. You can still upgrade. Simply look for the “Upgrade for free” option at the top center of your ChatGPT screen. Click on it, and you’ll be able to upgrade to the ChatGPT Go plan in India — completely free for 12 months.
Step-by-Step: How to Get ChatGPT Go Plan Free for 12 Months in India
1. Go to www.chatgpt.com and log in to your ChatGPT account.
2. If you see the popup saying
“Try Go, Free — Enjoy faster response, higher upload limit, and expanded image generation with Go plan — all for the next 12 months,”
click on it.
If not, click on the “Upgrade for free” icon at the top center of the page.
3. On the next screen, click “Upgrade to Go.”
4. You’ll see a page that says “Getting your plan ready.” Wait a few seconds for it to load.
5. Once ready, you’ll be redirected to the payment page, where you’ll see two options — UPI and Card. Choose the method that’s most convenient for you.
6. I personally selected UPI. Make sure you fill in your address details correctly to avoid payment errors. If you enter incorrect or incomplete information, the payment might fail.
7. After entering your address and payment details click on subscribe button, then you’ll land on a confirmation page (as shown in the image below).
8. If you’ve chosen UPI, you’ll receive an autopay approval request in your UPI app. Approve it to continue.
9. Once the autopay request is approved, you’ll get a success message on the screen and also an email confirmation of your free subscription.
And that’s it! 🎉
Your ChatGPT account is now successfully upgraded to the ChatGPT Go plan for the next 12 months — completely free.
I hope this step-by-step guide helps you easily claim your ChatGPT Go free plan in India without any confusion.
