5 Financial Rules Change from 1st September 2025: As the new month begins, several important financial rules are coming into effect that will directly impact common citizens. From LPG cylinder prices to banking and postal services, here’s a complete overview of the five big changes you need to know:
1. Silver Hallmarking Becomes Mandatory
From September 1, hallmarking will now be compulsory for all silver items. This move aims to ensure purity and protect consumer interest. While buyers will gain more transparency, traders caution that the additional certification may slightly raise the cost of silver products.
2. Monthly LPG Cylinder Price Revision
LPG cylinder prices will now be revised at the beginning of every month. Domestic consumers will feel the impact of this change directly, as rates will be adjusted in line with global oil and gas market trends. This means household budgets may fluctuate depending on price hikes or reductions.
3. New SBI Credit Card Charges and Reward Changes
State Bank of India credit cardholders will see new rules from September. Charges will now apply for failed auto-debit payments, international transaction fees will increase, and reward points will be reduced for spends on certain categories like government services and digital gaming.
4. Registered Post Merged with Speed Post
India Post has decided to merge its Registered Post service into Speed Post. This step aims to streamline services and simplify tracking for customers. Going forward, all important mail that requires tracking and proof of delivery will be handled exclusively through Speed Post.
5. Jan Dhan Account Re-KYC Requirement
Jan Dhan account holders must complete their Re-KYC process before September 30. Failure to do so could result in restrictions on cash withdrawals, subsidies, and access to other banking facilities linked with these accounts.
