A 25 Percent Increase In Pensions Was Accepted: Who Will Get How Much Salary?

The day before, when the General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was postponed for one day after the promotion of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahceli to retirees, discussions had started on “Is there a new increase for retirees? “.

Stating that it is insufficient to limit the increase to retirees to 25 percent in July, Bahçeli said: “Our expectation and demand is that the increase of 8,077 TL will be reflected in the basic salary and the same in pensions.”

However, at the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, which began yesterday at 2:00 p.m. and continues today, the article providing for a 25 percent increase for retirees was accepted without change.

This means that retirees from SSK and BAĞKUR whose root pension is less than TL 7,500 will continue to receive the same salary.

However, expectations continue that a new regulation on pensions can reach the General Assembly of the Assembly, which will continue on the 14th.

WHY IS NOT 25 PERCENT ADDED ON 7 thousand 500 TL?

The subject that is most curious and misunderstood among retirees is the lowest pension, 7,500 TL…

Since the minimum pension was increased from 5,500 lira to 7,500 lira in March, most retirees think that the 25 percent increase in July will add up to 7,500 TL.

However, while the lowest pension was increased from 5,500 lira to 7,500 lira in March, there was no increase in root pensions. In other words, pensions for retirees remain unchanged, Treasury support of TL 2,000 was given only to 5,500 lira, and increased to 7,500 lira.

For this reason, this arrangement was criticized because it would see retirees receive an increase on their existing root pensions, not 7,500 TL in July.

WHO WILL TAKE HOW MUCH?

Therefore, the 25 percent increase that will be made at this time will be made for root pensions. In other words, retirees whose root pension is less than 7,500 TL after the 25 percent increase will still receive 7,500 TL per month.

A pensioner with a root pension of 6,300 TL is 7,875 TL; that is, only 375 TL will be collected.

Therefore, 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.

The lowest salary of retired civil servants will increase to 9 thousand 876 TL after a 25 percent increase.

Neither TurkStat nor TORBA YAS nor THE DEPARTURE OF BAHÇELİ DID NOT RESIGN

Therefore, neither SSK and Bağkur nor the retired officials could find what they expected from TÜİK’s 6-month inflation figures, from the 14-article bill submitted by the AKP to Parliament, or from Bahçeli’s steady rise.

According to the inflation difference of 6 months, the retired civil servants are 17.55 percent; SSK and BAĞ-KUR retirees would also receive a 19.77 percent increase. However, with the proposal accepted by the Plan and Budget Commission, a total increase of 25 percent was accepted, together with the 6-month inflation difference.

The departure of Bahçeli, who considered this rate insufficient and demanded that the increase of TL 8,777 be reflected in basic salaries and pensions, found no response in the General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

However, retirees, who may experience a housing crisis due to the constant increase in food prices and the level of rental prices, find it difficult to meet their most basic needs; He stresses that the 25 percent increase is not a cure for any of his problems.

Their most basic expectation is to make a further increase in basic pensions by making a new regulation and raising the lowest pension to at least the minimum wage.

EXPECTATIONS CONTINUE: A NEW PROPOSAL MAY ARRIVE TO THE ASSEMBLY TODAY

The opposition, on the other hand, proposed to increase the minimum pension to the minimum wage in the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

In the dissenting opinion the following was expressed:

“This increase, which increases the salaries of civil servants, is not enough for us. In this regard, our proposals to set said rate of increase at 34 percent and raise the lowest pension to the minimum wage were not accepted.”

However, some experts say that the expectations of a new regulation on pensions to the General Assembly of the Assembly continue, which will continue on the 14th.

‘POSSIBLE’ RECEIVED AKP’S RESPONSE AT TIME FROM SEYYANEN

On the other hand, the first statement came from the AKP after Bahçeli’s statement that “retirements should be greatly increased.”

AKP Group Chairman Abdullah Güler said: “We have received many objections and demands. They said that the expectation is more proportional. It’s possible.

Güler said: “However, there is a balance that we call budget possibilities. We would like to have a surplus by creating different items by making savings on certain points,” he said.
