The Petroleum Ministry had imposed these restrictions on June 11 due to the shortage of petrol and diesel, which have been withdrawn through a new order of June 29 after the supply improved. For the last 18 days, major consumers were buying fuel only from bulk sale points.
Effect: With this decision, common drivers, transporters and big commercial buyers will be able to fill as much diesel as per their requirement directly from petrol pumps. Apart from this, the fuel problem faced by factories and big consumers for the last 18 days will also end.
3. Making passport becomes expensive
shift: The central government has increased the passport fees, which has come into effect from July 1. Earlier in 2012, passport fees were increased. That means this increase has happened after 14 years.

| passport type | old fees | new fees | increase |
| 36 pages (normal) | ₹1,500 | ₹2,500 | ₹1,000 |
| 36 pages (immediate) | ₹3,500 | ₹5,000 | ₹1,500 |
| 60 pages (normal) | ₹2,000 | ₹3,500 | ₹1,500 |
| 60 pages (instant) | ₹4,000 | ₹6,000 | ₹2,000 |
4. You will have to pay double fine for traveling without ticket in train
shift: The Railway Ministry has increased the minimum fine for traveling without a ticket in a train from ₹250 to ₹500. Now, if caught, the passenger will have to pay a charge of at least ₹500 along with the actual ticket fare. Additionally, if the case goes to a Magistrate Court and is found guilty, the punishment can be a maximum of 6 months in jail, a fine of ₹1,000, or both.
Effect: Now the pockets of passengers traveling without tickets will be hit doubly. For example, if the actual fare up to the checking point is ₹150:
- Before (from the Old Testament): Fare ₹ 150 + fine ₹ 250 = total ₹ 400 had to be paid.
- Now (from the New Testament): Fare ₹150 + fine ₹500 = total ₹650 to be paid.
