ChatGPT Go free offer India: The free ChatGPT offer is now available for all users in the country but many are asking this important question.
ChatGPT Go offer is free so why are payment details needed?
The ChatGPT Go free offer is now available for all users in India which lets you access some of the premium Go features free of cost for 12 months. You can easily sign up for the new deal via the ChatGPT web version or the mobile app on Android and iOS devices. The Go plan generally costs you Rs 399 per month and is a toned down version of the ChatGPT Plus version but still has a lot to offer for regular users.
You can generate more AI images than the free version, you can access GPT 5 with support for higher limit on queries and more. But you might have noticed that while signing up for the free ChatGPT Go offer OpenAI is asking you to share card details or UPI ID to authorise the free deal.
If it is a free offer then why is OpenAI asking for the payment details? Many users have been asking this question since the morning of November 4, 2025 and we’ve decided to help them out by solving this puzzle.
ChatGPT Go Free Offer: Why Payment Details Needed?
OpenAI needs your payment details for the free ChatGPT Go offer because that’s how these services work. And this requirement is not just linked to ChatGPT but even when you sign up for the free Apple Music trial or any other platform in the country, you will have to give the card details or the UPI ID to set up the auto-pay option that will become active once the trial or free period ends.
OpenAI has clearly mentioned that the, “promo pricing applies for 12 months. Starting Nov 4, 2026, ChatGPT Go will continue at Rs 399/month. Cancel anytime.”
And because the offer ends in 12 months time, anybody taking the free ChatGPT Go plan will have to start paying after that, and for this reason OpenAI needs the details. Having said that, the company has given you the complete freedom to cancel the free Go offer anytime you want, something that even the likes of Apple Music support.
ChatGPT Go is the most-affordable way to access a wide range of premium features from OpenAI which made its debut in India and is now available in over 90 markets.
