These changes on 1st August will directly affect the pocket of the common man and his services. Changes can be made in many rules, like LPG gas cylinder to UPI, so let's know what big changes can happen on 1st August.

New rules from 1st August

Some special changes are going to happen on 1st August 2025, which will have a direct impact on the pockets of the common people. These include charges related to credit cards, changes in LPG cylinder prices, and new rules regarding UPI transactions. Apart from this, there may be changes in some banking services as well. Some major changes on the 1st can affect your monthly budget, so let's know which 5 big changes can happen.

LPG Gas Price

Like every month, changes in the prices of LPG cylinders can be seen on 1st August 2025 as well. By the way, on July 1, the price of a 19 kg commercial gas cylinder was reduced by Rs 60. 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. So if this happens, then the impact of inflation on the pockets of the general public may be reduced a bit.

For cardholders

If someone is an SBI cardholder, then they should know that from August 11, 2025, SBI has decided to discontinue the free air accident insurance cover available on many of its co-branded credit cards. That is, now the cover of Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore available on ELITE and PRIME cards issued in association with SBI-UCO Bank, Central Bank, Karur Vysya Bank, PSB, and Allahabad Bank will be discontinued. Due to this, cardholders may suffer a big loss.

Changes in UPI

From August 1, 2025, many new rules are going to be implemented for UPI users, which will make digital payments safer and streamlined. So 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. Whereas, the bank accounts linked to the mobile number can be viewed only 25 times. But AutoPay transactions will now be processed only in 3 fixed time slots. Talking about the status of failed transactions, it can be checked only 3 times and at an interval of 90 seconds.

Air Turbine Fuel Prices

Like every month, this time also the prices of Air Turbine Fuel (ATF), i.e., aircraft fuel, may change from August 1. Oil marketing companies revise the prices of ATF along with LPG on the first of every month. Air tickets may become expensive if the price of ATF increases, whereas there may be relief in fares if there is a decrease.

Credit card-related changes

Important changes related to credit cards are going to happen, from August 11, free air accident insurance on some co-branded cards will end. At present, some banks, including UCO Bank, Central Bank and PSB, used to provide insurance cover on some special cards, which is now being discontinued.

CNG-PNG price

Like every month, this time too, there is a possibility of a change in the prices of CNG and PNG gas. However, their rates have remained stable for some time. The last time the prices of CNG and PNG changed was on 9 April 2025, when CNG in Mumbai became ₹ 79.50 per kg and PNG became ₹ 49 per unit. Now their prices may change again in August 2025.
