Amazon Prime annual membership may increase soon, here’s how much you will pay

Amazon Prime annual membership is reportedly set to increase. The company is increasing its Prime subscription membership fee soon.

Amazon launched Prime membership in India in July 2016. The e-commerce giant introduced its membership service in India at an inagural price of Rs 499. The inagaural offer started with a 60-day trial for free, after which the users were required to pay Rs 499 for a year to continue using the services under the subscription. The price was set to Rs 999 once the inaugural price offer ended.
