From today, 1st September 2025, several new rules have come into effect that will directly impact your household expenses and savings. Key changes include LPG cylinder prices, ATM withdrawal charges, fixed deposit (FD) interest rates, silver hallmarking, and revised SBI card fees. These updates will affect millions of consumers across the country.
LPG Cylinder Price Update
As per routine, oil companies revised domestic LPG cylinder prices on September 1. The new rates are linked to international crude oil fluctuations and company calculations. Any change in LPG price will immediately impact the monthly kitchen budget.
ATM Withdrawal Rules
From September 1, some banks have started implementing new ATM withdrawal charges. Customers exceeding the monthly free withdrawal limit may face higher transaction fees. This move is expected to tighten cash usage policies.
Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rates
Several banks are reviewing their fixed deposit interest rates in September. At present, FD returns range between 6.5% to 7.5%, but experts warn that a downward revision may be announced soon, which could impact depositors’ earnings.
Silver Hallmarking Becomes Mandatory
The government has made hallmarking of silver mandatory from today. This step aims to bring transparency in purity and standardize pricing in the silver market. While it will ensure more reliability for buyers, there might be a rise in silver product prices.
New Charges for SBI Cardholders
From September 1, State Bank of India (SBI) cardholders will face new terms. If an auto-debit payment fails, a penalty of 2% will be charged. Additional charges are also being introduced for international transactions, fuel purchases, and online shopping payments.
From LPG prices to ATM withdrawals, FD interest rates, silver hallmarking and SBI card fees, these new rules starting September 1, 2025, are set to affect your daily life, household budget and financial planning in a big way.
