Here is what you need to know before subscribing for Netflix in India (2024)

FAQs

Can I buy Netflix in India and use in the US? ›

Netflix is available in over 190 countries around the world. Each country has its own catalog of original and licensed TV shows and movies. The country on your account can't be changed unless you move to a new one.

If you can't kill your time, you could always go for ₹199 mobile plan. But I would suggest you to take ₹499/₹649/₹799 plan, depending on your group size, twice a year. That way you can cover whole year of releases in a month or two. If you keep subscription open for all of 12 months, that's not worth it.

Netflix TV Plans

Here are those plans: Basic – Rs 199 per month – 720p. Standard – Rs 499 per month – 1080p. Premium – Rs 649 per month – 4K.

Netflix Basic Plan

The Netflix Basic subscription plan costs Rs 199 per month and allows users to stream on a single mobile, tablet, computer, or smart TV device in High definition (HD) 720p quality. Moreover, with the Basic and Mobile plans, you can watch on only one device at a time.

Understand your billing date

One can share their Netflix password with anyone who is residing in the same household as them. According to the FAQs of the company, people not living in a person's house will be required to use their account for watching Netflix.

Under the Premium plan, users can watch Netflix content on up to four devices. However, now with paid sharing, it won't be possible for users to do so, unless they are in the same Netflix Household.

If you have the Basic plan, only one device, or one user, at the same time. The Standard plan allows up to two devices or two users. With the Premium plan, four devices, or four users, can stream at the same time. If you want to watch Netflix movies and shows on more devices, TunePat is a practical tool.
