On the first of every month, oil marketing companies review LPG prices. However, the price of domestic LPG cylinder (14.2 kg) has not changed for the last few months. Currently, its price in Delhi is Rs 803. At the same time, there has been a steady increase in the prices of commercial cylinders. The price of crude oil in the international market is $73.58 per barrel, which may lead to changes in prices in the future.

5. Fixed Deposit (FD) rules

RBI has changed the rules related to fixed deposits for NBFCs and HFCs. The new rules will come into effect from January 1, 2025.
