Gas becomes cheap, flights expensive and time is over for government employees:

LPG price update 1 December: The last month of the year 2025 has started from today. December not only brings with it winter and festivals, but it also brings with it some rules and changes that are directly related to your pocket and daily life. On the first day of the month, some things have become cheaper and some have become expensive. Let us understand in simple language what has changed from today.

1. Relief to hoteliers, kitchen budget remains the same (LPG Price)
December has started with a good news, but this relief is not for the households but for the businessmen. Today, from December 1, 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has become cheaper by Rs 10. Its prices have decreased for the second consecutive month. This will reduce the costs of restaurants and hoteliers a bit.
At the same time, there has been no change in the price of the 14.2 kg domestic red cylinder that you and I use. That means the kitchen budget will remain the same.

2. Those traveling by air will get a shock (Flight Tickets)
If you are planning to go somewhere on New Year, then you may have to pay more for the ticket. Oil companies have increased the prices of aviation fuel (ATF). In Delhi it is around Rs 5133 expensive It has reached Rs 99,676 per kilolitre. Obviously, when plane petrol becomes expensive, the airlines will pass the burden on the passengers. Therefore, tickets are likely to be expensive.

3. Bank Holidays galore
The month of December means the month of holidays. This month, including festivals of different states and Sunday-Saturday, the total 17 days Banks may remain closed.

• Note: These holidays will differ from state to state. For example, today (1 December) banks are closed only in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
