Change in price of LPG cylinder
Like every month, on May 1 too, oil companies will decide new prices of LPG cylinders. The changes in these prices will have a direct impact on the household budget and hotel-restaurant expenses. Last month, both domestic and commercial cylinders became expensive and their prices may change again tomorrow.
Apart from the prices, major changes are also being made in the rules of cylinder delivery. According to reports, companies may change the cylinder booking deadline and OTP based delivery system may be made mandatory forever for security.
Change in price of ATF-CNG
From May 1, 2026, there may be a change in the prices of not only gas cylinders but also aviation fuel (ATF). Its prices had increased significantly in the beginning of April, which were later reduced, but new rates will be released again tomorrow.
Along with this, the prices of CNG used in vehicles and PNG used in homes can also change. This means that from tomorrow, everyone’s pockets, from those traveling by air to the common people driving cars and autos, may be affected.
There will be changes in credit card rules
SBI credit card rules are changing from May 1, 2026. Now a late payment charge of Rs 100 will be levied on the dues of Rs 100 to Rs 500 and Rs 500 on the dues of Rs 500 to Rs 1,000.
