From December 1, the following changes will come into effect:
(1.) Punjab National Bank ATM card: To protect you from fraud, PNB has revised the procedure to withdraw money using the bank's debit card. Now, after inserting the card in the machine, you will receive a one-time password (OTP) on your registered mobile number. Enter this OTP to withdraw the cash. Also, your ATM PIN will still be required.
(2.) Jeevan Pramaan (life certificate): November 30 is the deadline for pensioners to submit their Jeevan Pramaan digital life certificate. Failure to submit in time may lead to their pension being stopped.
(3.) LPG prices: In November, the price of a commercial LPG was slashed (by ₹115 per unit). On the other hand, the price of a domestic LPG cylinder has been unchanged since July. This time, therefore, oil making companies (OMCs) may slash prices of domestic cylinders.
