With gold, you can access all static (past + updates) and all current affairs (previous years + coming months) for up to 6 months. So if you purchase today, you can access everything for 6 months. After 6 months, you need to renew or upgrade to continue accessing content.
Can we download these mind map. And use after expire.??
