New Rules from 1st October: Many important changes are going to be implemented in the country from October 1st, 2025. These rules will affect everyone who travels by train, makes mobile payments, invests in pensions, or plays online gaming. Let’s find out which rules are changing and what impact they will have.

Train Ticket Booking Rules Tightened
The train ticket booking system is going to become even stricter. From October 1st, the first 15 minutes of ticket booking on IRCTC will be available only to passengers whose accounts are linked to Aadhaar and are fully verified. This will benefit ordinary passengers and will put a stop to the arbitrariness of brokers and agents.

Strictness on Online Gaming
The government has now adopted a more stringent stance on the online gaming industry. The new rules have received President Draupadi Murmu’s approval. These rules will place stricter oversight on companies to protect players from fraud and deception. Additionally, gaming will be made more secure and transparent.

New system in NPS, major changes in pension scheme
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has made a major reform to make the National Pension System (NPS) more flexible. This new rule will come into effect on October 1, 2025. It is called the Multiple Scheme Framework (MSF). Under this, non-government sector employees, corporate professionals, and gig workers will now be able to invest in multiple schemes using a single PAN number.

Now, investing in multiple schemes with a single PAN
Until now, the NPS rule was that an investor could invest in only one scheme using their PAN number. This meant that once they had chosen one, they were limited to that scheme. However, under the new rule, they will now be able to invest in multiple schemes using a single PAN. People will now be able to choose different schemes based on their convenience and risk appetite.

The ability to request money through UPI has ended.
If you used the “Request Money” feature on Google Pay or PhonePe, this feature will no longer be available. NPCI has decided to discontinue the “Collect Request” (Pull Transaction) feature. This is intended to protect users from online fraud and phishing, making digital transactions more secure.
