New Financial Rules From 1st July: Aadhaar For PAN, Credit Card Updates And Key Changes
Last Updated:
New financial rules from July 1, 2025: mandatory Aadhaar for PAN, extended ITR deadline, revised credit card charges by SBI, HDFC, ICICI, and higher ATM fees by Axis Bank.
New Financial Rules From 1st July: Several new money-related rules are set to become effective starting July 01, 2025 that will impact your pockets directly or indirectly. Knowing them beforehand will help you to avoid any negative consequences and be prepared for these changes. A flurry of important financial changes will be implemented, spanning from mandatory Aadhaar for PAN to new credit card rules.
Aadhaar Verification Necessary For New PAN Cards
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has announced that Aadhaar verification will be mandatory for new PAN card applications from July 1. It aims to enhance tax compliance and promote digital integration. Previously, a valid ID and birth certificate were sufficient to obtain a PAN.
Extension of ITR Filing Deadline
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the ITR filing deadline to September 15, 2025, which was supposed to end this month end i.e. July 31, 2025. It allows taxpayers more room to file their returns without any hurry, mitigating the possibility of errors and wrong filings.
Revised Credit Card and Banking Charges by SBI, HDFC, and ICICI
Starting July 15, 2025, SBI Card will revise its Minimum Amount Due (MAD) calculation for credit card bills, including the full GST, EMI amounts, fees, finance charges, and over-limit amounts, plus 2% of the remaining unpaid balance. Payments will follow a fixed sequence, prioritizing GST, EMIs, fees, finance charges, balance transfers, retail transactions, and cash advances. Additionally, SBI Card will discontinue complimentary air accident insurance, removing the Rs 1 crore cover for ELITE, PULSE, and MILES ELITE cards and the Rs 50 lakh cover for PRIME and MILES PRIME cards, affecting both existing and new cardholders.
From July 1, 2025, HDFC Bank will impose a 1% fee on online skill-based gaming and wallet load transactions exceeding Rs 10,000 monthly, capped at Rs 4,999, with no reward points earned on these. Utility bill payments above Rs 50,000 (consumer cards) or Rs 75,000 (business cards) will incur a 1% fee, capped at Rs 4,999, while rent, fuel (above Rs 15,000 or Rs 30,000 based on card variant), and education payments via third-party platforms will retain a 1% fee, capped at Rs 4,999 per transaction. Reward points on insurance will be limited to 10,000 for Infinia/Infinia Metal, 5,000 for Diners Black/Biz Black Metal, and 2,000 for most other cards, with no cap for Marriott Bonvoy cards; all fees will attract GST.
Following the other banks, Axis Bank has announced to increase ATM charges exceeding the free limits to Rs 23 per transaction from Rs 21 per transaction from July 01, 2025. This change will affect both Axis and non-Axis ATM users, including Priority and Burgundy category customers.
Several other lenders have already increased the ATM charges from May 01 due to rising operational costs and improving service delivery.

Seeds of debt: Telangana's elderly farmers forced into manual labour after lifetime in farming; turn to MGNREGA to survive
JOGULAMBA GADWAL: After a lifetime spent tending their farms, many elderly farmers in Gadwal now find themselves working under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act ( MGNREGA ) to survive. Years of using spurious seeds, earning meagre returns, and watching profits siphoned off by organisers have pushed cotton seed farmers into hardship. With their land handed over to the next generation, survival now means returning to the fields - not as owners but as labourers. "I was into seed farming since my teenage years. We never benefited much, as the money earned was hardly enough for the next crop. Now, I am working as a labourer to earn a livelihood," said Kuruva Maddeletti from Neelipally village. He owns two acres of land, which are now being tended by his sons.

In fact, one of my sons was informed that his entire produce-about four quintals-failed the quality test. He is now burdened with a debt of Rs 2 lakh," the 60-year-old said. The situation is no different for Venkatanna N and his wife Padmamma, who are also working as labourers. "We built a small hut in the village. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo I earn around Rs 200 per day, and we are surviving on this meagre pay," said Venkatanna, who handed over his two-acre land to his sons. Despite having worked in the fields since the age of 20, he said he could hardly save anything for their old age. The 63-year-old added that his sons, too, were victims of spurious seeds, with their entire produce failing the quality test. 'No option left' The MGNREGA guarantees 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer for unskilled manual work. For many in the villages, it has become a lifeline, helping them earn Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 per month. According to data from the Ministry of Rural Development, a total of 85,725 people aged between 61 and 80 registered for MGNREGA in Jogulamba Gadwal district. An additional 10,453 aged above 80 are registered for drought-related work. Of these, 10,777 were employed in the financial year 2025-26. While MGNREGA remains a fallback option for elderly farmers, even younger cotton farmers-those under the age of 60-are being pushed into farm labour, as earnings from both commercial and seed cotton farming are proving insufficient to support their families. "I have a debt of Rs 4 lakh, of which Rs 2 lakh was borrowed from my organiser. We submitted our produce in Dec 2024, but it was only in April that they told us whether it passed the quality test or not. Now, I am working as a daily labourer for Rs 500," said Pedda Narsimhulu, pointing to the field where he was working. Farmers say that unless organisers are removed from the system and they are assured of a minimum support price, their situation is unlikely to improve.
