Most circulars run to a few pages. You don't need all of them. Four parts tell you whether it affects you, and by when.
The date and the effective date
The date at the top is when it was issued. The effective date is when it starts to apply. They're often weeks apart.
Who it's addressed to
A circular to banks and payment service providers changes what they must do. You feel it through their apps.
What changes
Look for numbers: limits, deadlines, amounts. Those are the parts that change your day.
What happens if nobody complies
Penalties usually fall on the institution, not the customer.
