From Pocket to Parliament: Major Changes in July

July 2026 will be an eventful month with several key developments. From July 1, new rules on railway booking, banking, LPG prices, passport fees and EV policy will come into effect.

The monsoon is expected to strengthen between July 1-10, putting state governments to test on disaster management. GST Council meeting is scheduled for July 16-17, while the Income Tax Return filing deadline is July 31.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament will be stormy with opposition likely to raise issues like Ram Mandir donation scam and inflation. A Cabinet reshuffle is also expected this month.
