The deputy announced the possible indexation of pensions in February

United Russia Duma deputy Nikita Chaplin said on Tuesday, December 21, that pensioners may be able to receive an additional indexed pension and compensation for the January period in February.

According to RIA Novosti, this will happen if the government approves an increase in pensions to 9.5% instead of the previously planned 7.3%.

Thus, the pension, which amounted to Br16,000, will rise to Br17,520 instead of Br17,168, Chaplin said.
