New rules from october 1: LPG, FD, TDS and Birth-Death certificates to see changes

Punjab Newsline | New Delhi

Several important rules related to everyday life and financial transactions are set to change from October 1, 2026. With the beginning of the new month, changes concerning LPG cylinder delivery, bank fixed deposit (FD) interest rates, TDS rules for property purchases from NRIs, and registration fees for birth and death certificates are set to come into effect.

The new measures, introduced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other concerned departments, are aimed at improving transparency for consumers, preventing financial fraud and streamlining tax compliance.

New LPG Delivery Rules

For LPG consumers, two key security measures are being introduced from October 1 to make the delivery and subsidy system more transparent.

Consumers who receive subsidised domestic LPG refills and have not yet completed the required process will have to complete biometric authentication or e-KYC to continue receiving the benefit.

OTP Verification for LPG Delivery

Under the new system, simply showing a paper receipt will no longer be sufficient for receiving an LPG cylinder. At the time of delivery, customers will have to verify an OTP sent to their registered mobile number before the cylinder can be handed over.

The measure is intended to strengthen the verification process and prevent the misuse of LPG subsidies.
