New Delhi: The month of June is now in its last phase, with only two days left. July is going to arrive on the third day. The first day of any month is particularly significant for the general public. Do you know that, starting July 1, some considerable rules are set to change nationwide, which are being discussed rapidly.

These significant changes encompass rules related to UPI payments, PAN card applications, Tatkal ticket bookings in trains, and GST. The government aims to make the processes transparent and secure by implementing these rules. After all, you can learn about the changes in detail below. Knowing this will end all the confusion.

UPI-related rules will change.

According to the new rule, correct chargeback claims on UPI transactions can be processed again. For this, users will not have to wait for NPCI’s approval. This will give consumers a more effective solution. Until now, if a chargeback claim on any transaction was rejected, the bank had to obtain permission from NPCI. But now this will not happen.

Aadhaar mandatory for PAN card

Did you know that, according to the new rule, an Aadhaar card is now mandatory for applying for a new PAN card. At present, any verified identity card or other supporting documents are sufficient. Aadhaar verification has been made compulsory from July 1, 2025. The government has made this rule to curb fraud.

There will be a change in the rule related to Tatkalticketst.

There will be a change in the process of booking Tatkal tickets in trains. As of July 1, 2025, Aadhaar verification has become mandatory for booking Tatkal tickets on IRCTC’s official website and mobile app. From July 15, 2025, OTP will be required while booking Tatkal tickets. Selected agents will no longer be able to book Tatkal tickets for the first 30 minutes of the window opening.

Rules on GST returns will change.

According to GST Network, editing of GSTR-3B form will not be possible from July 2025. No taxpayer will be able to file a retrospective GST return after three years have passed. This rule will apply to various return forms, including GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GSTR-5, GSTR-5A, GSTR-6, GSTR-7, GSTR-8, and GSTR-9. The purpose of this change is to promote the habit of filing returns on time.
