Starting today, several major changes (New Rules, December 1, 2025) have been implemented across the country. These include everything from the price of domestic cylinders to Aadhaar cards. These changes will directly impact the common man, so it's important to know about them.

Let's discuss these changes one by one.

New Rules, December 1, 2025: What will change?
1. Changes to the Aadhaar Card
UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), the organization that regulates Aadhaar cards, is making major changes to the Aadhaar card. The look of the Aadhaar card will change starting December 1, 2025. Currently, details like name, address, mobile number, and Aadhaar number are displayed on the Aadhaar card.

But soon, its look will be changed. Now, you will see only a photograph along with a QR code on the Aadhaar card. UIDAI has taken this decision keeping in mind the safety of the people. This QR code will be scanned with the new Aadhaar app. Verification will then be done through face recognition.

2. Repo Rate Reduction
The RBI Monetary Policy Committee (RBI MPC Meeting) meets every two months. The repo rate is also reviewed in this meeting. After the review, it is decided whether to change the repo rate. The RBI is scheduled to meet next month, i.e., in December. This meeting will be held on December 3rd.

3. LPG Cylinder Price Reduction
Today, the gas agency has provided significant relief by reducing the price of LPG cylinders. The gas agency has reduced the price of the 19-kilogram commercial gas cylinder. However, this time too, no change has been made in the price of domestic cylinders. The price of domestic cylinders will remain the same.

4. New Labor Codes
The new labor code has been implemented in the country. These include the Code on Wages 2019, the Code on Social Security 2020, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020, and the Industrial Relations Code 2020. Under these rules, decisions were taken in the interest of employees, such as changes to the CTC structure – 50% of basic salary, changes to PF and gratuity – gratuity should be paid within one year, etc.

The Code on Wages states that basic pay should be at least 50% of the total salary. This rule is partially implemented. Currently, it is being used in the calculation of PF and gratuity. However, it will be considered fully implemented after the government issues detailed guidelines. It is expected that the full framework will be notified soon.

It is expected that these salary changes will be implemented by December, although this has not been confirmed.
