How much was my retirement payment?

The pension increase was increased from the normal inflation rate of 17.55 percent and 19.77 percent to 25 percent with the additional social participation. Under the proposals, the 25 percent increase will not apply to the lowest pension, which was previously increased from 5,500 lira to 7,500 lira.

HOW MUCH WAS THE LOWEST MONTH?

The normal inflation increases of 17.55 percent and 19.77 percent for retired civil servants, workers, merchants, and farmers will increase to 25 percent with the additional social participation.

According to the approved proposal, the 6-month increase in the July term for all retired civil servants, workers, merchants and farmers, including EYT members, was increased to 25 percent. The lowest monthly amount applied as 7,500 lira did not benefit from the increase.

In addition to the normal increase of 17.55 percent, civil servants were paid 8,077 lira for social participation, and this amount was not reflected in any retiree.

In line with the consumer inflation announced by TÜİK, the government announced the increase of retired civil servants by 17.55 percent and the increase rate of other retired workers, merchants and farmers by 19.77 percent.

With the new proposal accepted, the rate of increase for all retirees was equalized at 25 percent. With the new increase, the pension of the lowest retired civil servant, which was 7,901 lira, was increased to 9,876 lira with an increase of 25 percent.

WHEN WILL THE SALARY INCREASE BE PAID?

The package of laws, which includes civil servant salaries and tax increases, moved to Parliament’s committee stage by adding an article to increase the pension increase determined for the first six months to 25%.

With the articles added to the proposal, which was accepted over the weekend in the Planning and Budget Committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly, retirees from the Pension Fund, Bağ-Kur and SSK will receive a 25% increase in total for six months of the year. The regulation will enter into force on the date of its publication, to be implemented from July. The proposal, whose commission stage has concluded, will be discussed at the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on July 11.

MINIMUM WAGE 7500 LEFT LIRA

Under the proposals, the 25 percent increase will not apply to the lowest pension, which was previously increased from 5,500 lira to 7,500 lira. The retirement increases will be made only to the root pensions. According to this, for example, a pension of 6 thousand lira and a pension of 7,500 lira with the support of the Treasury will be increased by 25 percent to a root pension of 6 thousand lira.

This pensioner’s pension will increase to 7,500 lira, but this pensioner will not be able to receive an additional increase since he receives 7,500 lira per month. The Treasury will not have made any support payment to this pensioner. Instead, for example, the pension of a retiree whose root pension is 6,500 liras and who receives 7,500 liras with the support of the Treasury will increase by 25 percent, so the pension will increase by 6,500 liras . to 8 thousand 125 lire.4

All retirees who still receive a pension of 7,500 lira and whose root pension is less than 6,000 lira will remain without an increase and will continue to receive a pension of 7,500 lira.
