Amazon is said to be modifying its Prime Video subscription offerings in India, introducing restrictions for television devices. Beginning in January 2025, Amazon Prime subscribers will be permitted to log in from a maximum of five devices, with only two of those being televisions. Consequently, if Prime Video users wish to access the service on more televisions, they will need to purchase an additional subscription. To ensure that users are aware of these changes, Amazon is sending out emails detailing the updated regulations regarding device sharing. Further information is available on how the new Amazon Prime subscription policies may impact users who share their accounts with friends and family.

Amazon Prime subscription rules

Amazon has revised its Prime subscription policies, imposing limitations on the number and types of devices that can be utilized from a single account. According to reports, Prime Video users are permitted to log in on a maximum of five devices, facilitating account sharing among friends and family. However, it is important to note that only two of these devices may be televisions. Consequently, if a user wishes to access Prime Video on a third television, they will need to purchase an additional plan. This development may be disappointing for those who share accounts, as many users prefer to view over-the-top (OTT) content on televisions, and these restrictions could hinder the use of shared devices.

Amazon is not alone in implementing such limitations; numerous subscription-based services, including Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar, also enforce restrictions on the number of devices, regardless of their type. Furthermore, these platforms offer various plans that allow users to increase the number of devices, making it easier to share access with friends and family.

Amazon Prime subscription price in India

The Amazon Prime subscription is available at a monthly introductory rate of Rs.299. For those opting for quarterly payments, the cost is Rs.599, while an annual subscription is priced at Rs.1499. Additionally, there is an Annual Prime Lite option available for Rs.799 per year, and a Prime Shopping edition priced at Rs.399.

Before January 2025, it is advisable to update the settings on your five devices, which should include two televisions and three additional devices, or consider investing in a new plan.
