Netflix India runs some of the cheapest full plans anywhere: we verified Standard at Rs 499/mo ($5.21) and Premium 4K at Rs 649 ($6.78) on 29 Aug 2026, both far below US pricing. You can pay on the web with any Indian debit or credit card, UPI autopay through apps like GPay or PhonePe, or by getting Netflix charged to an Airtel or Jio postpaid bill. The listed prices are GST-inclusive, so what you see at checkout is what hits your card.

Payment in India
- Local card
- Play gift card
- Apple gift card
- Apple Pay
Billed through Apple in India — your Apple account must be set to India. Apple ID credit in this storefront can pay the in-app price.
How to subscribe
- 1Sign up at netflix.com/in in a browser rather than inside the Android/iOS app when you can — web checkout accepts UPI autopay, which the app flow does not always show.
- 2Pick UPI at checkout, approve the mandate in GPay/PhonePe/Paytm once, and the monthly debit runs automatically from there.
- 3On Airtel or Jio postpaid? Choose the carrier-billing option instead and the Rs 499 lands on your phone bill — handy if you refuse to save a card anywhere.
- 4If you subscribe through the iPhone app, the charge goes to your Apple ID set to India; redeem Apple gift-card codes into that Apple ID balance first and it will cover the in-app price.
Questions
How much is Netflix in India?
Standard $5.21/mo, Premium $6.78/mo as of 2026-08-29. Source linked on the page.
Which payment methods work for Netflix in India?
The "Payment in India" section above lists each method we could confirm for this storefront, with the dated note underneath explaining how billing actually works there.
Why does my bank show an extra amount before refunding it?
Netflix runs a small temporary authorization to confirm the card or UPI mandate is live, then releases it within a few banking days. Only the plan price is actually charged.
Is there a cheaper plan than Rs 499 in India?
Yes — the ad-supported mobile-oriented tier sits below Standard, and Netflix India's own plans page lists it as the entry point. We only carry dated verified figures for Standard and Premium in our table, so check netflix.com/in/signup for the current entry-tier number.
Can I use a friend's card from another country?
It usually fails: Netflix matches the card's issuing country to the signup country, and a foreign card on the India storefront triggers declines or a forced plan change. An Indian card or UPI mandate is the low-drama route.
