Title: Government Confirms Funding for November 2025 Essential Goods Subsidy, Outlines Distribution
In a significant move to support household purchasing power, the Iranian government has secured the necessary funding for the fifth phase of its Electronic Voucher Scheme, with the November 2025 installment ready for distribution. This initiative underscores the state’s commitment to providing continuous welfare support and stabilizing the essential goods basket for citizens.
Funding Secured for Uninterrupted Support
Senior officials from the Subsidy Targeting Organization have confirmed that all financial resources required for the upcoming phase of the program have been allocated. This decisive action highlights the administration’s resolve to prevent any disruption in the delivery of this crucial social support, ensuring the scheme’s stability and reliability for beneficiaries.
A Strategic Shift to Direct Consumer Support
The Electronic Voucher Scheme represents a strategic pivot from traditional subsidies to a targeted, direct-support mechanism. By replacing the previous preferential currency system, the program aims to enhance transparency, ensure resources reach their intended recipients, and effectively insulate household budgets from inflationary pressures. A core feature of the program is the government’s commitment to maintaining the voucher’s purchasing power for a defined basket of essential goods.
Anticipated Rollout and Easy Access to Benefits
The exact disbursement date for the November vouchers is expected to be formally announced by the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour, and Social Welfare in the coming days, following standard procedure.
Eligible households can easily check their voucher balance through three convenient and user-friendly methods:
- The dedicated “Electronic Voucher” mobile application.
- Dialing the USSD code
#1463500. - Using the dedicated chatbot within the “Bale” messaging platform.
Addressing Eligibility Queries
The program’s allocation is based on a comprehensive household income survey. Should any household have an inquiry or wish to appeal their designated income bracket, they can formally register their case through the official support portal at Hemayat.mcls.gov.ir.
