RTGS or Real-time Gross Settlement is an online fund transfer system to transfer money from one bank account to another. This is a popular transfer mode along with NEFT and IMPS systems. In the existing system the RTGS facility is available between 8 am and 7:55 pm. The banking regulator has already allowed NEFT transfers 24X7 since December, last year. 

2. LPG Cylinder price 

The prices of LPG cylinders get updated on the first day of every month. The prices may or may not go up. Customers could expect a price revision on 1 December. 

3. Insurance Premium Change possible now

5. Your insurance policy will not stop on non-payment of instalments 

Many people have lost their job because of the coronavirus pandemic, which hit the country in March. As a result of this, many people have defaulted on their instalment payments. It may also happen that due to some unforeseen expenses, the policy holders are unable to pay their instalments. Non-payment results in policy getting lapsed. This results in their money getting stuck. The insurance companies have made changes to this effect. Under the new rules, a policy holder can reduce the premium on their policies by 50 per cent.
