Rewritten Title: Government Clarifies Stance on Subsidies Amid Marriage Loan Discussions
Article:
Official Addresses Public Concerns
In response to circulating public inquiries, a senior government official has provided clarification on the relationship between receiving a marriage loan and eligibility for state subsidies. Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi, head of the Plan and Budget Organization, acknowledged the ongoing public discourse, stating that the government is navigating between the provisions of existing law and socio-economic considerations.
A Deliberate and Measured Approach
“We are currently faced with two scenarios,” Pourmohammadi explained. “One is that the law has a specific directive, stating that the three highest income deciles should be removed from the subsidy list. On the other hand, there are concerns, such as the one you mentioned, that are being raised.”
He emphasized that the Ministry of Welfare is conducting a meticulous review process based on this balance. The primary objective is to ensure that subsidy adjustments are made with precision, focusing on those who would not face financial hardship, while continued dialogue with the parliament addresses the remaining cases.
Safeguards Against Potential Errors
When questioned about the possibility of errors in this evaluation process, the official was clear that mechanisms for appeal are in place. “A method for objection has been established so that if an error occurs, individuals can formally register their protest,” Pourmohammadi stated.
He further highlighted the robust data infrastructure supporting the review. The Ministry of Welfare has access to comprehensive systems that provide a holistic view of economic activity, including banking transaction volumes, vehicle and property ownership, international travel records, and salary information, ensuring assessments are based on accurate and multi-faceted data.
