Title: Government Refines Subsidy List as Over 400,000 Households Transition Off Rolls
A Shift in Subsidy Allocation
In a continuing effort to optimize its social support framework, the Iranian government’s subsidy program has seen a significant update. Recent data released by the Ministry of Labour for the month of Aban indicates a refinement in the list of recipients, reflecting the ongoing process of ensuring the efficient allocation of national resources.
Updated Figures Released
According to the official announcement, the number of households in the fourth to ninth income deciles receiving direct cash subsidies now stands at 41,874,817. This figure represents a targeted adjustment from the previous month, where 42,313,039 individuals across the same income brackets were listed as beneficiaries. This recalibration has resulted in the removal of 438,222 individuals from the subsidy rolls over the past month.
A Continuous Process of Review
This adjustment is part of the government’s established and continuous procedure to review and update the eligibility criteria for its comprehensive subsidy system. The focus remains on aligning support with current economic data and household circumstances, a standard practice for ensuring the program’s long-term sustainability and effectiveness. The payment of subsidies to the updated list of eligible households for the month of Aban has been completed as scheduled.
