New Delhi: Several major financial regulations are set to change starting December 1st. This will directly impact the common man, pensioners, and government employees. Therefore, certain important tasks must be completed by the 30th of this month, or else fines or service disruptions may occur. Let’s learn about these regulations here.
UPS Enrollment Deadline
The last chance for government employees to join the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) is November 30. Those who wish to switch from the National Pension System (NPS) to the UPS will have to complete the process online or through their nodal officer.
Last date for submission of life certificate
Pensioners are required to submit a life certificate by November 30th to ensure their pension continues uninterrupted. This certificate can be submitted digitally or by visiting a bank/post office. Failure to do so will result in a suspension of their pension until it is verified.
Important dates for tax filing
November 30th is also a crucial date for taxpayers. TDS (tax deducted at source) information on high-value transactions must be submitted by this date. This includes details of TDS deductions made in October under sections 194-IA, 194-IB, 194M, and 194S. Companies subject to transfer pricing (the determination of prices in international transactions) must also submit their reports on this day. Additionally, multinational companies with Indian subsidiaries must file Form 3CEAA. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in a penalty or notice from the Income Tax Department.
Change in LPG prices
Cooking gas (LPG) prices will also change starting December 1st. Oil companies set LPG prices on the first of every month based on international market trends and the rupee’s movement against the dollar. Last month, commercial cylinder prices were reduced. However, domestic consumers are now awaiting new prices. This change will directly impact household budgets.
Changes in aviation fuel prices
Similarly, the price of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), the fuel used in airplanes, will also change from December 1st. Changes in ATF prices impact airlines’ operating costs. This can directly affect passenger airfare, especially during the peak travel season.
All these changes are significant for the general public. Therefore, it is important to be aware of these rules and complete all your necessary tasks before the November 30th deadline, whether related to pensions, taxes, or participation in government schemes. Following these rules can help you avoid any hassles.
