The State Duma told about the part of the pension withheld by debts

Any pensions, other than the one paid on the occasion of the loss of the breadwinner, can be withheld to pay off debts. This was announced on December 20 by Yaroslav Nilov, head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs.

"A pension is a citizen's income, and if there is a debt, then funds can also be withheld from the pension by a court decision," he said in an interview with TASS.

According to Nilov, the deduction limit is 50%, while it is possible to deduct up to 70% if it is alimony for a minor child or compensation for harm to health.

He also added that a person must have funds equal to the subsistence minimum when writing off.
