Amazon does not sell Prime Video by itself in India. You subscribe to full Amazon Prime: ₹299 per month or Rs 1,499 per year on amazon.in, checked 29 Aug 2026. Video, fast delivery, and Prime Music ride on that membership. At that month’s exchange the annual plan is about $17 against $139 US Prime — a shopping price, not a Netflix-style streaming sticker.
The old Prime Video Edition (mobile-only) is gone from Amazon India’s plans page as of that check. Shopping Edition at ₹399/year has no video. If a roundup still ranks “Prime Video India” as a cheap streaming plan, it is describing a bundle or a plan Amazon no longer sells.
Rails: /how-to-pay/. Netflix’s different India door: how to pay for Netflix in India.
What each Prime India plan includes
| Plan | Price (amazon.in, 29 Aug 2026) | Video | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prime monthly | ₹299/month | Full catalog | Delivery + Prime Music |
| Prime annual | Rs 1,499/year | Full catalog | Delivery + Prime Music |
| Prime Shopping Edition | ₹399/year | None | Shopping only |
Prime in India is a shopping program whose perks include video. Delivery savings often justify the annual fee before you count a show. Prime Music is the ad-supported lite catalog, not Spotify Individual at ₹139 (dated 29 Aug 2026).
How this sits next to Netflix and Crunchyroll — not a cloned Mobile rupee
Netflix India Standard ₹499 ($5.21) and Premium ₹649 ($6.78) on Apple, dated 29 Aug 2026. UPI on netflix.com/in. No Netflix gift cards in India. PayPal India for Netflix died in 2021. We will not invent a Netflix Mobile plan. Pakistan Standard Rs800 ($2.89) is cheaper Netflix than India.
Crunchyroll Fan in India is ₹99 ($1.03) versus US Fan $9.99, dated 29 Aug 2026. That is a dated streaming cell. Prime’s Rs 1,499 year is not the same invoice.
Disney+ India has no dated Disney+ cell on this site (JioHotstar is a different product). Do not paste a Hotstar rupee onto Disney+.

How do I actually pay for Prime in India?
- UPI, including autopay.
- Indian debit and credit cards (RuPay, Visa, Mastercard).
- Netbanking.
- Pay on Delivery on eligible annual accounts — the courier collects cash, card, or UPI. Netflix, YouTube Apple, and ChatGPT Plus do not offer that.
Foreign cards generally fail on Indian-billed Amazon accounts. GST 18% is added at checkout; the ₹299 / Rs 1,499 headlines are pre-tax.
Your price follows the Amazon account, not a VPN
A US Amazon account over an Indian IP still pays US Prime. An Indian account keeps Rs 1,499/year when you travel. Changing countries means Amazon account-country rules, not a YouTube Play-country trick and not a Spotify Ininal card.
If you live in India, the domestic Prime bundle is already near the cheapest official Prime anywhere. Engineering a foreign Prime account to “save” on video is the wrong merchant for that job — and Netflix’s cheaper Pakistan Standard is a Netflix story, not Prime’s.
