Airtel has removed the complimentary ZEE5 Premium subscription with its postpaid plans. The telco had previously removed the free ZEE5 premium subscription from all previously eligible prepaid plans last month, except for the Rs 289 plan. Now, Airtel has announced that subscription will not be offered with the Airtel Thanks Platinum membership either.
