Amazon’ Prime membership offers a bunch of services for the cost at which it is offered, even more so than other subscriptions in comparison. Now, the company is introducing a new subscription plan in India, called the Amazon Prime Lite membership, that will be offered at a lower cost than the regular Prime subscription, that costs Rs 1,499/year.
The Amazon Prime Lite membership costs Rs 999 for a year which is cheaper than the price of the regular Prime subscription. Prime Lite subscription from Amazon will offer free two-day delivery while same-day and one-day delivery is limited to the standard Prime membership.
Sunscribers will also get access to free no-rush shipping to eligible addresses and receive a cashback of Rs 25. Additionally, Morning Delivery is available for eligible addresses at a cost of Rs 175 per item. In comparison, the standard Prime subscription offers this same benefit for Rs 50 per item. However, there is no minimum order value required for free standard delivery even in Lite tier.
