    Mutual funds, GST, fixed deposits, UPI payments & more

    March 1, 2025


    Beginning 1 March 2025, a series of significant updates are set to transform various aspects of daily life in India, spanning mutual fund nominations, LPG cylinder costs, fixed deposit interest rates, UPI payment guidelines, tax modifications, and GST-related security directives. 

    The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will introduce new regulations impacting the nomination procedure linked to mutual fund folios and demat accounts. These adjustments will go into effect from today, i.e. March 1, and are designed to simplify the asset transfer process, particularly during investor illness or death, thereby providing greater clarity and ease.

    Changes for Investors in Mutual Funds and Demat Accounts

    Indian investors can now nominate up to ten individuals for their mutual funds and demat accounts. This measure aims to address the issue of unclaimed assets, making it mandatory for single-holder accounts to assign a nominee. Details required include the nominee’s Permanent Account Number (PAN), the last four digits of their Aadhaar number, or a driving license number. In the case of joint accounts, assets will be automatically transferred to surviving account holders according to the survivorship rule.

    Adjustments to LPG Cylinder Prices:

    Oil companies in India have announced that, starting from 1 March 2025, prices for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders will be updated around 06:00. These adjustments will coincide with changes in the prices of air turbine fuel, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Piped Natural Gas (PNG).

    Fixed Deposit Interest Rate Revisions:

    Beginning on 1 March 2025, several banks may revise their fixed deposit interest rates. Some banks have already adjusted these rates recently, and similar changes are anticipated in the coming month, potentially impacting the savings of many.

    Insurance Premium Payments via UPI:

    From 1 March 2025, users of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will be able to pay insurance premiums through the Bima-ASBA facility, which uses blocked amounts. This feature allows policyholders to reserve funds for insurance payments, ensuring they are deducted only if the insurance proposal is accepted. Should the proposal be rejected, the blocked funds will be released.

    Potential Tax Revisions and Relief

    Taxpayers may observe adjustments in tax slabs and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) limits from 1 March 2025, potentially offering some financial relief.

    Enhanced GST Portal Security

    Security on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) portal will be enhanced with multi-factor authentication from 1 March 2025. Business owners will need to update their IT systems to align with these new security protocols, ensuring a safer environment for GST-related activities. Staying informed about these changes is crucial for effectively managing finances, taxes, payments, and security in the evolving landscape.
