Change is inevitable. Every now and then new rules are announced for different sectors. And, several of them are set to come into effect from October 1. Most of these will affect you directly but some will have an indirect impact as well. Here is a look at few things that are set to change from October 1:
New Motor Rules
The government has already announced that the maintenance of vehicular documents, including driving licences and e-challans, will be done through an Information Technology portal. The details of these documents will be maintained in the chronological order.
5% taxes on foreign remittances
Tax collected at source (TCS) at the rate of five per cent will be imposed on the money remitted outside India. In case the remittance is made out of a loan taken for higher education, the TCS rate will be 0.5 per cent of the money remitted.
Standardization in Health Insurance
Irdai has asked insurers to standardize the exclusions — diseases or medical conditions that are not covered under a policy. As per the change, any disease diagnosed by a physician 48 months prior to the issuance of the health cover will be classified as pre-existing diseases. Treatment for mental illness, stress will now be covered under health insurance policies.
Loan rates to come down
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had made it mandatory for banks to link their retail and MSME loans to external interest rate benchmarks. This means that rates for home, car, and personal loans is likely to come down soon.
Apart from this, the government is also expected to introduce new set to guidelines for the next phase of lockdown, which will bring further changes.

In a step towards easing commuter convenience, the central government is set to digitise documents including maintenance of vehicles, driving licences and e-challans that will now be done through an information technology portal from October 1, 2020.
Vehicular documents found validated through electronic means shall not be demanded in physical forms for inspection, it said and added that details of driving licences disqualified or revoked by the licensing authority will be recorded and updated chronologically in the portal.
"Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has recently issued notifications regarding various amendments in Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989 requiring the implementation of enforcement, Maintenance of Vehicular Documents and E-Challans through portal w.e.f 1.10.2020 for better monitoring and enforcement of MV Rules," MoRTH said in a statement. Use of IT services and electronic monitoring will result in better enforcement of traffic rules in the country and will lead to removing harassment of drivers and would facilitate the citizens, it said.
This was required after the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 was passed and was published on 9th August, 2019, the government said. "The amendment inter-alia provides for the definition for Challan, Portal inserted as a requirement for providing the services through IT and further the enforcement of electronic monitoring and enforcement," it added. Details of driving licences disqualified or revoked by the licensing authority shall be recorded chronologically in the portal and such record shall be reflected on a regular basis on the portal has been provided for, the government said and added, thus the record shall be maintained electronically and further the driver behaviour would be monitored. Provisions have been made for the procedure for Production and Obtaining Certificates in physical as well as electronic form, the validity, issuance of such documents and further the date and time stamping of inspection and identity of the Officer will be recorded, the statement said. It has been provided that if the details of the documents are found validated through the electronic means by the enforcement officer then physical forms of such documents shall not be demanded for inspection, including in cases where there is an offence made out necessitating seizure of any such documents, the statement said.
Also Watch:
"Further upon demanding or inspecting any documents, the date and time stamp of inspection and identity of the police officer in uniform or any other officer authorized by the State Government, shall be recorded on the Portal. This would help in unnecessary re-checking or inspection of vehicles and further would remove harassment to the drivers," the statement said. It has been provided that the use of handheld communications devices while driving shall solely be used for route navigation in such a manner that it shall not disturb the concentration of the driver while driving. The government also said that certain amendments in the Motor Vehicles (Driving) Regulations 2017 have been made to align it to the Amendment in the Act like use of handheld device, inspection of documents in electronic form etc.
