Financial Change: Last date of many works like tax filing, Aadhaar, credit card in December, eyes also on RBI

December Financial Change: Only one day is left for the last month of the year, December, to begin and in this month, the last date or deadline for many important financial tasks is coming. By knowing these, you should complete your tasks on time.

December Financial Change: The month of December is about to come and along with being the last month of the year, it is also important in terms of many economic and financial works. The most important among these is the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Reserve Bank. After this, the last date for updating Aadhaar for free along with the last date for payment of advance tax is also important for those who file tax returns late. At the same time, changes are also being seen in the credit card charges of some banks.

RBI’s credit policy will come on December 6

All eyes are on the monetary policy of the Reserve Bank of India to come on December 6. Is RBI going to cut the rates this time or will it keep it at 6.5 percent. If RBI does not change the rates for the 10th consecutive time in its MPC review, then not much change will be seen on the financial front. By the way, RBI has changed its stance in the policy from neutral to withdrawal of accommodation, which remained unchanged since May 2022. Economists believe that if inflation rates remain under control, RBI can take the decision to cut policy rates. If RBI does not change its stance on December 6 and does not change the rates, then there will be no improvement in the interest rates and EMI of your home loan. After this, loan takers will get stability in their financial planning.
