The year 2025 is about to go and 2026 is about to come. The new year can begin with new hopes and changes. The new year will not only change your calendar, but will also affect many important aspects of your life, like salary, expenses and savings. Let us see what can change for you from the first date of the new year –

8th pay commission

December 31, 2025 is an important date for central government employees and pensioners, because on this day the tenure of the 7th Pay Commission will end. The new 8th Pay Commission is to be implemented from January 1, 2026. Even though according to this, salary and pension will come later, but the date of implementation will be January 1.

credit score updates

The Reserve Bank of India has ordered that from January 1, 2025, banks and NBFCs will have to send information to credit bureaus once every 14 days. With this, your credit score will be updated timely and it will be easier to take a new loan.

Change in gas cylinder prices

There may be a change in the prices of LPG and commercial gas cylinders from January 1. Along with this, aviation fuel prices may also change, which may affect air ticket prices.

PAN-Aadhaar linking

If you have not yet linked your PAN card with Aadhaar, then it may be difficult for you to do banking, government services and other transactions from January 1. PAN card may become inoperative from January 1, due to which you may have to face difficulties.

Ration Card e-KYC

If you do not complete e-KYC of ration card by 31st December, you may stop getting ration from 1st January 2026. This is an important change, which you will have to complete in time.

Farmer ID

The process of creating farmer ID for farmers is going on in many parts including Uttar Pradesh. This ID is necessary to provide benefits of government schemes to farmers. If farmers do not create this ID, then money will not come into their account and they will not be able to avail the benefits of the schemes.

With the onset of 2026, all these changes may impact your everyday life. It will be beneficial for you to understand these changes and take necessary steps in time.
