Iranian Government Approves Significant Pension Increase for 2025
In a move to bolster the financial security of its retirees, the First Vice President of Iran has officially enacted a directive approving a substantial increase in pension payments for beneficiaries of the Social Security Organization, effective from the start of the next Iranian calendar year (March 2025).
Key Details of the New Directive
The approved measure mandates a base increase of 45% for all pensioners. The directive outlines a structured approach to ensure the increase is applied equitably across different income brackets.
For pensioners whose current benefits exceed the minimum wage threshold, the increase will be calculated as a 32% raise plus a fixed sum of 9,316,050 Rials.
Guaranteed Minimum for All Pensioners
A central feature of the new policy is the establishment of a guaranteed minimum monthly income. The directive stipulates that the total monthly income for all minimum-wage pensioners, including all supplementary benefits, must not fall below 15,803,000 Tomans. This measure is designed to provide a solid financial foundation for retirees and ensure their well-being.
