From PAN-Aadhaar rule to rail fare hikes and card charges: Key July 1 changes that affect you

From mandatory Aadhaar for PAN application, rail fare hike and revised Tatkal ticket booking rules, to updated credit card charges and a fuel ban on older vehicles in Delhi, a wide range of new rules will come into effect across sectors including rail transport, taxation, and banking from Tuesday, July 1.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has made Aadhaar verification mandatory for new Permanent Account Number (PAN) card applications. Earlier, a valid identity card and birth certificate sufficed for new PAN card applications.
