Data and statements released on June 1, 2026 showed that household finance and cooking-fuel rules tightened nationwide. New UPI and LPG rules took effect across India on June 1, 2026.
Subsequent updates explained that high-value UPI payments through apps such as Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm now require biometric or additional device-based verification beyond PIN entry.
Separately, UPI apps must show a recipient’s verified full name before a transfer is completed.
In addition, households with piped natural gas must terminate LPG connections within 30 days, and new LPG bookings are barred for homes with active PNG supply.
The same reports noted that oil marketing companies extended mandatory gaps between cylinder refills to 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas.
Authorities also said NPCI had set May 31 as the technical deadline for apps to adopt enhanced authentication frameworks.
Further context from the day indicated UPI cardless ATM withdrawals will now count toward monthly free cash withdrawal limits at banks.
Related filings and briefings added that one-house-one-connection enforcement is intended to stop households from holding multiple subsidised LPG cylinders.
Parallel announcements clarified that may 31 was the compliance deadline for payment apps to implement stronger authentication ahead of the June 1 go-live.
Officials said further steps would be announced as reviews continue.
