The deputy spoke about ways to achieve an increase in pensions.

In order to achieve an increase in the pension, it is necessary to monitor the accuracy of the calculation of work experience. This was announced on Tuesday, March 18, by State Duma Deputy Sergei Gavrilov.

"In order to achieve a higher pension, it is important to understand your rights and the mechanisms provided for by law. Pensions can often be underestimated due to defects in documents or missed opportunities," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

So, according to the parliamentarian, if an error is found in the documents, you should order an extract through the Gosuslugi portal or contact the Social Fund of the Russian Federation. It is also worth paying attention to whether the periods of care for minors and elderly relatives for which pension coefficients should be calculated are taken into account.

The second step is to choose the most profitable pension fund and manage savings, Gavrilov noted. He recommended choosing non-governmental funds more carefully, including checking their licenses.

In addition, the deputy of the State Duma called for reducing the number of transfers, as this leads to a loss of investment income.

"The third option is to use the possibilities of an urgent pension payment. An urgent pension payment is a tool that provides an opportunity to receive accumulated funds in a shorter period of time," Gavrilov said.

He explained that this method is beneficial for the category of citizens who want to use their savings during the active years of their lives.

Gavrilov called the purchase of pension points a fourth possibility. He said that this mechanism is aimed at those who have not scored the minimum number of points to receive an insurance pension for various reasons.

"You can purchase the missing points by paying voluntary contributions to the Social Fund of Russia," the agency's interlocutor reminded.

In the fifth way, Gavrilov allocated the transfer of maternity capital to a funded pension. This allows women to use part of their capital resources to form retirement savings.

If they pull, they will not reach it: the average pension in the Russian Federation has sunk below a third of the salary

Why old-age payments are less and less compensating for the usual income and what to do about it

Earlier, on March 6, Galina Morozova, Chairman of the Board of Directors of NPF Future, told Izvestia that the return of the "frozen" part of mandatory pension insurance (OPS) pensions could be a key step for the development of the long-term savings program and significantly affect the pension fund market. According to the expert, the return of funds to citizens will not only restore access to their savings, but also give an impetus to attract new funds to pension funds.
