Rewritten Title: Pension Fund Issues Official Denial of Widespread Salary Increase Rumors
Article:
In an official statement, Iran’s National Retirement Fund has moved to quell widespread speculation regarding a significant pension increase, firmly denying reports that had circulated in recent days.
Rumors of a Substantial Pay Rise Dismissed
Recent media reports had suggested that a second phase of pension adjustments would be implemented, resulting in a pay rise of 5 to 8 million tomans for retirees starting in the Iranian month of Azar (November-December). This news had generated considerable discussion and concern among the retiree community regarding their financial status.
The Fund’s public relations department has now categorically refuted these claims. In its official announcement, the organization stated, “No decision has been made regarding an increase in retirees’ pensions based on the mentioned figures and timeline.”
Focus on Processing New Pensions
The Retirement Fund clarified that its current operational priority is accelerating the processing and payment of pensions for new retirees, with a particular emphasis on educators. According to the Fund, 90 percent of the pension orders and payments for retired teachers were finalized in the previous month of Mehr (September-October).
Experts within the Fund emphasized that its primary goal is to ensure the timely disbursement of legally mandated pensions and benefits. They cautioned that the circulation of unsubstantiated rumors about astronomical figures creates unnecessary anxiety among retirees.
Stick to Official Channels, Fund Advises
Reiterating its commitment to transparent communication, the National Retirement Fund stressed that any official announcements concerning changes to pensions, benefits, or services will be made exclusively through its formal channels.
Retirees are strongly advised to rely only on these verified sources for accurate information:
- The Public Relations and International Affairs Department of the Fund.

By following updates directly from these official outlets, retirees can avoid misinformation and remain accurately informed about their entitlements.
