The first increase is planned from February 1 to 6.8% and will be tied to the increase in prices over the past year, the second indexation is planned from April 1 to 3.3% in accordance with the growth of income of the Social Fund. This approach, as explained in the Ministry, will help to maintain the balance of the budget of compulsory pension insurance.

After the February indexation, the fixed part of the payment will increase to 10.2 thousand rubles. This will automatically increase allowances for citizens over 80 years of age and people with the first group of disabilities, whose fixed payment will rise to almost 20.5 thousand rubles. In addition, additional payments for northern and rural experience, as well as for dependents, will increase.
