LOWEST PENSION IS AT THE LEVEL OF 20 THOUSAND LIRA

Currently, the lowest pension is applied as 20 thousand lira.

Although there are assessments in the lobbies that a study is being carried out to increase this amount to approximately 23 thousand 500 lira, no officially finalized figure has been announced regarding the issue.

The proportional raise to be given to SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will be calculated over the base pensions of the retirees.
