For its first time ever, Amazon Prime announced on February 18 that it will be experiencing a rise in subscription plans. This move was made for the first time in four years in case you haven’t noticed it. The yearly cost of a Prime membership has gone up to Rs. 1499 annually after the price hike and Rs 179 monthly, and quarterly Rs 459. All the other details regarding the price hike and others can be found on the official website of Amazon or Amazon Prime.

Nevertheless, if you have the financial capacity to pay for a yearly Prime membership in advance, doing so now will save you $20 overdoing it later. This commits you to a year of subscription at the discounted rate of $119. Although all the existing Prime users can continue with their plan until their subscription ends, it will be wise to look out for plans that you may want to further continue with depending on your budget.

Current Prime users may put off thinking about it until March 25th, a day before the identical price hikes begin to take force on your next expiration of the term. However, along with the hike in price, Amazon has also ensured its customers of an even better experience than they were having. The company has ensured that all the existing benefits will be exactly unaffected with new features launching soon.
