With the beginning of the new month, there has been a major change in many important rules to the everyday life of the common people and the budget in the country. These new rules, which will come into effect from today, June 1, 2026, will directly affect your spending patterns. These include many stringent provisions to LPG, banking, online payment (UPI) and PAN-Aadhaar. If you want to avoid financial loss or any kind of legal and administrative trouble, then understand these changes carefully in time. 1. New rule of LPG and PNG: One house, one connection The government is now going to adopt a very strict stance regarding the use of LPG. According to the new rules, now only one active gas connection will be allowed at the same address or one house. The biggest change is for those people whose houses have piped gas (PNG) connection. Such people will no longer be able to keep LPG cylinders in their homes as additional security or backup. If you have both the connections, you will have to surrender your LPG cylinder immediately. Failure to do so may result in oil companies blocking or completely canceling your LPG connection. 2. Only real name will be visible in UPI payment. To curb online fraud and fraud through digital payment, a very safe rule has come into effect from today. Now whenever you transfer money to someone through UPI or scan an unknown QR code, only the name that is registered in the bank account of that person or merchant will appear on the screen. This will completely stop fraudsters who cheat people by showing fake names or false identities. 3. Withdrawal of UPI cash from ATM is no longer free! If you also use the facility of withdrawing cash (UPI-ATM Cash Withdrawal) by scanning the QR code through the UPI app directly from the ATM without a debit card, then now you will have to be a little careful. From today onwards, the bank will also count such transactions towards your limit of 5 free ATM transactions per month. That is, as soon as your 5 free chances of the month end, you will have to pay additional charges even if you withdraw cash from ATM through UPI. At a Glance: Important changes implemented from today All these major changes in your work can be easily understood from the table given below: 4. Extreme strictness in PAN card rules To bring transparency in financial transactions and keep an eye on black money, the government has made the PAN card rules more stringent than ever. Cash Transactions: Now if you deposit or withdraw cash of Rs 10 lakh or more in your bank account within a year, it will be mandatory to provide PAN card. Property and vehicles: PAN card is mandatory in any property deal worth more than Rs 20 lakh. Also, if you buy any vehicle worth more than Rs 5 lakh (even if it is a two-wheeler), then you will have to carry PAN card. Insurance Policy: From today onwards, no new life or health insurance policy will be issued in the country without PAN card. 5. Fee will be charged for updating Aadhaar card. If you want to make any correction or change in your name, address, date of birth or biometric information by going to Aadhaar Center, then now you will have to pay a fixed fee between Rs 75 to Rs 125 for this. However, it is a matter of relief that by visiting the official ‘myAadhaar’ portal of the government, you can update your documents online absolutely free of cost till June 14, 2026. After this, fees may have to be paid there also. 6. Solar panels will be expensive, but subsidy will continue. From today, there has been a big change in the rules for installing solar panels at domestic level. After the implementation of the new government rules (ALMM-II), now only government certified and recognized solar panels will be allowed to be sold and used in the country. This step will reduce the use of cheap Chinese panels in the market, due to which the initial cost of installing a solar system may increase from Rs 3,000 to Rs 9,000. However, the government subsidy available under ‘PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme’ will continue as before. 7. Air travel will be limited and expensive. With the beginning of June, passengers traveling by air have also faced a big shock. In view of the recent huge increase in aviation fuel (ATF) prices and the possible decline in passenger numbers after the summer holidays, airlines have taken a big step. Big airlines like IndiGo and Air India have decided to reduce the number of domestic flights by 15% to 22% for the next 90 days. In such a situation, if you are planning to travel somewhere in the coming days, then before booking the ticket, definitely check the latest status and fare of your flight.
