On the first of every month, the government, oil companies and financial institutions review many regulations and implement new instructions. This time also, from June 1, major changes can be seen in the prices of LPG cylinders, bank FD interest rates, ATM transactions, PAN card rules and solar panel guidelines.
Zee News In this special report, know about those main changes, by having advance information of which you can avoid any additional expenses or problems.
1. New prices of LPG and commercial gas cylinders
On the first of every month, the oil marketing companies of the country review the prices of LPG, CNG and PNG. Let us remind you that on May 1, 2026, there was a huge increase in the prices of commercial cylinders by about ₹ 993, after which the price of 19 kg commercial cylinder in Delhi reached ₹ 3,071.50. However, at that time the prices of domestic LPG (14.2 kg) were kept stable. Now once again on June 1, new rates of gas cylinders will be released, on which the eyes of consumers across the country are fixed.
2. New rule of UPI payment
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is working on a highly secure system to prevent online fraud and transfer of money to wrong accounts. According to the new guidelines, it will now be mandatory for all UPI apps to display the real bank-registered name (Verified Beneficiary Name) of the person or merchant on the screen before completing the payment. This means that now when you make payment by entering QR Code or mobile number, instead of the name written by the user himself, the same name which is registered in his bank account will be visible. This will prevent fraud by showing fake names.
3. Mega block of Railways in June: 77 trains will be canceled
If you are planning to travel somewhere in the month of June, then definitely check the status of your train before leaving home. Due to the important works of upgradation and non-interlocking of railway tracks, a big rail block is being taken up in June. Due to this, about 77 trains will be completely canceled and the routes and timings of many important Superfast and Duronto Express trains have been changed. This change will have a direct impact on passengers of West Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha.
4. New rules of PAN Card and Income Tax
Under the new Income Tax rules of the year 2026, many rules related to Permanent Account Number (PAN) have been made quite practical and in some places strict:
-
Relief received: Now common citizens will not need to provide PAN card for some small daily transactions. Earlier, PAN was mandatory for depositing more than ₹ 50,000 in cash in a day, in which now some relief has been given. Also, the limit for giving PAN during purchase and sale of property has been increased from ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh.
-
Strictness happened here: It will now be mandatory to provide PAN in property deals, gift deeds and joint development agreements (JDA) worth more than ₹45 lakh. Apart from this, PAN reporting will be applicable even if cash is withdrawn more than ₹ 10 lakh in a year. If someone does not have a PAN card, then the old Form 60 will now be replaced by a new one. Form 97 will fill.
5. New rule for installing solar panels (ALMM Guideline)
If you are thinking of installing solar panels on the roof of your house or factory, then the new ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) rules are coming into effect from June 1, 2026. Under this, only those solar modules and cells can be used in all government schemes, net-metering and subsidized projects, which are included in the government’s approved list (List-I and List-II). The government has made it clear that no further extension will be given in its rules. This decision will boost domestic manufacturing and quality, but initially a slight increase in the prices of solar panels may be seen.
6. ATM Cash Withdrawal Charges and Bank FD Rates
With the beginning of June, many big banks can change their ATM transaction fees, free transaction limit and cash withdrawal rules. Recently, HDFC Bank had also included the facility of withdrawing cash from UPI ATM in the monthly free ATM limit, while Punjab National Bank (PNB) had reduced the daily cash limit on some debit cards. Along with this, in view of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of RBI to be held in June and the cash situation in the market, many banks may also change the interest rates of their fixed deposits (FD) and savings accounts.
Apart from this, some other administrative changes related to Aadhar card update deadline and prices of petrol and diesel can also be seen in the coming days, which will be directly related to your financial planning.
