1 – Changes in UPI rules
From August 1, 2025, many new rules are going to be implemented for UPI users, which will make digital payments more safe and streamlined. In such a situation, if you use third party UPI apps like Paytm, PhonePe or GPay, then now you will be able to check the balance only 50 times a day. At the same time, now all users will be able to check the bank accounts linked to their phone number on any one app a maximum of 25 times a day.
These limits have been brought so that there is no unnecessary load on the system, which often slows down the speed or fails transactions. AutoPay transactions like Netflix or mutual fund installments will now be processed in only 3 time slots. Before 10 am, 1 pm to 5 pm and after 9.30 pm.
2 – Changes in credit card
If you are an SBI card holder, then you may get a big shock. From August 11, SBI has announced to discontinue the free air accident insurance cover available on many co-branded credit cards. Till now, SBI used to provide cover of Rs 1 crore or Rs 50 lakh on some ELITE and PRIME cards in collaboration with UCO Bank, Central Bank, PSB, Karur Vysya Bank, Allahabad Bank.

However, there was no change in the prices of domestic LPG cylinders in July. But now it is expected that from August 1, there may be relief in the price of domestic LPG cylinders as well. If this happens, then the impact of inflation on the pockets of the general public may be reduced a bit.
4 – Change in the price of CNG and PNG
It is often seen that oil companies change the price of CNG and PNG on the 1st. However, there has been no change in it since the month of April.
