Hekmat Card Boost: 6 Million Tomans Deposited for Armed Forces Retirees
In a significant move coinciding with the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversaries of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS), heartening news has been announced for retired members of the Armed Forces. The credit limit on the Hekmat Card has been substantially increased from 1.3 million to 6 million tomans.
A Substantial Increase in Credit
Official announcements confirm that the purchasing credit for the Hekmat Card, previously set at 1,300,000 tomans, has now been raised to 6,000,000 tomans. This considerable enhancement, effective from September 10, 2024, has already been deposited into the accounts of eligible retirees and is ready for use. This initiative, a tribute to years of dedicated service, facilitates installment purchases without the need for a down payment or a guarantor.
Enhanced Purchasing Power for Essential Needs
With this increase, the ceiling for 24-month installment purchases for each household head has been elevated to 144 million tomans. This allows retirees to use their Hekmat Card at affiliated stores, such as Etka, to more easily procure essential goods. This decision not only boosts purchasing power but also underscores the government’s commitment to improving the livelihood of this valued segment of society.
How to Inquire About Your Hekmat Card Balance
Retirees can quickly and easily check their card’s credit and remaining balance through two simple methods:
- Phone Call: Dial 0214856 and provide your card information.
- SMS: Send your Hekmat Card number via a mobile registered in your name to 100061915.
Significance of the Initiative
This credit enhancement is a crucial step in easing the lives of Armed Forces retirees who have devoted years to ensuring national security. By enabling installment plans for significant sums, the scheme not only covers daily needs but also allows beneficiaries to plan for the future with greater confidence and financial security.
