Financial Changes from December 1: What Will Affect Your Budget?
As November prepares to close its ledger, several Financial Changes from December 1 are set to roll out. These updates may directly influence your pocket, monthly expenses, and even essential services you depend on. Along with that, many crucial deadlines ending on 30th November must not be missed to avoid penalties or disruptions.
Important Tasks to Complete by 30th November
Submission of Life Certificate (For Pensioners)
For millions of pensioners, this is the most critical task. To continue receiving the monthly pension without interruption, it is mandatory to submit the Annual Life Certificate by 30th November.
If it is not submitted on time, the pension may be stopped starting December 1. The certificate can be submitted at the bank or through digital platforms like Jeevan Pramaan.
Switching to the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS)
Central government employees have a final chance to shift from the National Pension System (NPS) to the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS).
The last date for opting into UPS is 30th November.
The government has clearly stated that this opportunity will not be available once the Financial Changes from December 1 take effect.
Income Tax-Related Deadlines
The last date for filing several important tax-related documents—such as
• TDS statements (Sections 194-IA, 194-IB, etc.)
• Transfer-pricing report (Section 92E)
is 30th November.
Missing these deadlines can result in penalties or financial loss.
