The Russian government supported the draft law on the reform of the granting of insurance pensions. The authorities will prepare a positive review of the corresponding draft by State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein and a group of senators. informs Interfax, with citation.
The bill was submitted to the State Duma in October. This rule will affect 13% of retirees receiving a cash pension.
“According to the document (No. 212237-8) citizens will be able to deposit a pension in an account in a currently selected bank, but if we are talking about receiving money in cash (at home or at the desk of an organization), then only JSC “Russian Post” is left recommended, the article says.
Currently, citizens have three ways to receive insurance pension – by lending to a bank account through credit institutions; through postal agencies; through other delivery companies. In this case, the second option implies the delivery of funds both at home and at the checkout of “alternative deliveries”.
If the Russian authorities introduce a new norm, there will be fewer ways to achieve it. It is assumed that starting April 1 next year, there will be only two through credit agencies or federal postal service agencies. The second option involves the delivery of the pension to the house or receipt at the box office of the Russian Post, indicated in the note.
