Earlier in the week, Flipkart, as part of Mobiles Bonanza sale, was offering Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro for as low as Rs 999 through lucrative exchange deals and more. Now the company is selling its successor Redmi Note 6 Pro for even less.

As the Mobiles Bonanza sale comes to a close on Saturday, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro can be grabbed for just Rs 199 against the MRP Rs 13,999 (for the base model with 4GB RAM+ 64GB storage). As good as it may seem there's a caveat. Prospective buyers have to exchange their old premium phone such as Samsung, OnePlus or Apple iPhone to fetch such big cash back money (max: Rs 13,800) to buy the mid-range Redmi Note 6 Pro.

If your phone doesn't fetch the maximum exchange discount, fret not, there are a couple of bank offers. You can claim at least 10% discount on MRP with SBI card and 5% on Axis card. Also, if you purchase Flipkart purchase policy for Rs 99, you will get assured buyback guarantee of Rs 7,000 if you decide to buy a new phone in near future (within 12 months).
