(1.) Bank of Baroda cheque payment system: From tomorrow, as instructed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Bank of Baroda (BoB) will implement ‘Positive Pay System’ for cheques to be issued for 5 lakh or above. This involves re-confirmation of key details of the cheque by the drawer the bank, which would be cross-checked with the presented cheque when processing the payment.

(3.) Registration for PMFBY: Registrations for the Prime Minister Fasal Beema Yojana (PMFBY) will end today. Those who miss out on registrations will not be able to avail this plan. Registration can be done either online of offline.

(4.) LPG rates: On the first of each months, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices are revised. Last time, prices of commercial gas cylinder were reduced, while those for domestic cylinders were hiked.

(5.) ITR return filing: July 31 is the deadline to submit income tax returns for financial year 2021-22 and academic year 2022-23. A fine-cum-late fee will be charged from August 1 for belated filing of ITRs, unless the government extends the due date, which it is unlikely to do.
