Russians reminded about indexation of pensions for one category of citizens from October 1

Military pensioners in Russia will receive an increase in their monthly charges. From the beginning of the second month of autumn – October 1, 2026 – the size of their payments will increase by four percent. This was informed by a member of the relevant commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for public control and work with citizens' appeals Evgeny Masharov.

As explained by the representative of the Ministry, this indicator is already recorded at the legislative level. The increase in payments is provided for by the main financial document of the country - the law on the federal budget for the period 2026-2028.

The representative of the Public Chamber detailed the recalculation mechanism. He stressed that indexation will not require pensioners to make any additional applications or appeals to state bodies, since the procedure will be launched automatically. At the same time, the increase in pensions directly depends on the increase in salaries of the current defenders of the Fatherland and law enforcement officers.

The expert drew attention to the wide scope of this support measure. According to him, the recalculation will affect all citizens receiving state support through the defense Ministry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Regardie, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Emergencies Ministry (including the State Fire Service), the FSB, state security agencies, the Investigative Committee, and customs authorities.
