Title: August Subsidy Payment Schedule Released – Key Dates and Amounts
Subsidy and Welfare Payments: Three-Phase August Disbursement
The Iranian government has announced the August 2025 subsidy and welfare payment schedule, which will be distributed in three phases to eligible households. This initiative, part of the ongoing Livelihood Support Program, ensures financial assistance reaches different income groups efficiently.
Phase 1: Welfare Beneficiary Payments (August 11, 2025)
On Monday, August 11, the monthly stipends for beneficiaries of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee and the State Welfare Organization will be deposited into household accounts. Since the beginning of the current Iranian year (March 2024), these payments have seen a 40% increase and are consistently disbursed on the 20th of each month.
Phase 2: Cash Subsidy for Low-Income Households (August 16, 2025)
The cash subsidy for low-income households (deciles 1-3) will be deposited on Saturday, August 16. Each eligible individual will receive 400,000 tomans, available for withdrawal from midnight the same day.
Phase 3: Cash Subsidy for Middle-Income Households (August 22, 2025)
Households in deciles 4-9 will receive their 300,000-toman cash subsidy per person on Thursday, August 22. This amount has remained unchanged since spring 2023.
Electronic Ration Card Program Extended
The third phase of the Electronic Ration Card program remains active until August 22. Eligible families who have not yet used their allocated credit can make purchases at designated stores and supermarkets before the deadline.
August Subsidy Breakdown for a 3-Person Household
- Deciles 1-3: 3 × 400,000 tomans = 1,200,000 tomans
- Deciles 4-9: 3 × 300,000 tomans = 900,000 tomans
These figures apply only to the cash subsidy, while additional fuel subsidies (for eligible non-car or quota-holding households) are deposited separately.
Key Considerations for Recipients
- Payments are typically accessible from midnight on the scheduled date.
- Outstanding bank debts or blocked accounts may affect withdrawals.
- The Targeted Subsidies Organization advises keeping subsidy accounts separate from other bank accounts to avoid complications.
This structured payment system underscores the government’s commitment to supporting citizens across different economic strata.
