Title: Pensions Streamlined: New Payment Schedule and Support Funds for Iranian Retirees
A Boost for Retirees
In a move to ensure financial stability for the nation’s retirees, Iranian pension funds have implemented a structured payment schedule for the current month. Officials have confirmed the continued deposit of a 1 million Tomans support payment into retirees’ designated accounts at Bank of Trade, a measure aimed at maintaining account liquidity. A spokesperson for the Armed Forces Pension Fund clarified that rumors of a 3 million Tomans payment are inaccurate, emphasizing the government’s commitment to the established and sustainable financial process.
Managing Financial Flows
The official further explained that the current system of managing pension disbursements is designed for stability. Due to the direct deduction of essential loan installments from pensions, a complete and immediate transfer of the entire pension amount is not currently feasible. This structured approach prevents sudden, large-scale financial movements and ensures careful management of the funds, guaranteeing long-term reliability for all beneficiaries.
Adjusted Payment Calendar
A key feature of the new financial calendar is the adjusted payment date for retirees. With the start of the 30-day months in the Iranian calendar, pension deposits are now being processed one day earlier than in the first half of the year. This proactive adjustment is part of a broader policy by the Social Security Organization to better synchronize with the national banking network and accelerate the entire payment process.
- Social Security Pensioners: Pensions are being deposited from the 28th of Mehr.
- State Pension Fund Retirees: Payments are scheduled for the 29th and 30th of Mehr.
- Armed Forces Pensioners: Deposits will occur on the 30th of Mehr and the 1st of Aban.
This consistent and predictable schedule is designed to provide retirees with greater certainty regarding the receipt of their pensions, allowing for more effective personal financial planning. Retirees are encouraged to align their monthly budgeting with this new, streamlined timetable to seamlessly manage their expenses.
