Gas consumers can expect the prices for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to be announced and fixed on November 1. This news will provide clarity for consumers who have been eagerly awaiting the updates on gas prices.
In an effort to streamline the Goods and Services Tax (GST) process, big businesses with a turnover of Rs 100 crore and above have been given a deadline.

Import restrictions on laptops, personal computers (PCs), and tablets falling under the HSN 8741 category will undergo changes. To import products in this category, a valid “License for Restricted Imports” will be required. This step aims to regulate the import of electronic devices and ensure compliance with import regulations.
For individuals who have lapsed Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) policies, there is an important deadline approaching. October 31 marks the last day to reopen a lapsed LIC policy. Those who wish to reinstate their policies should take note of this deadline to avoid missing out on the opportunity.

Furthermore, businesses with a turnover of at least ₹100 crore will need to comply with new regulations. From November 1 onwards, these businesses must upload their GST invoices on the e-invoicing portal within 30 days.

This decision, if taken, could impact the availability and accessibility of electronic devices in the market. It remains to be seen whether this reconsideration will result in any changes to the import restrictions.
