Economist told about ways to unfreeze funded pension by transferring it to PDS
If you unfreeze the funded pension by transferring it to the long-term savings program (LSP) - it will be possible to start receiving funds 15 years after the conclusion of the contract or after reaching 55 years of age for women and 60 years of age for men. This was told on January 23 by the expert of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration Tatiana Podolskaya.
"Transfer the funded part of the pension to the PDS can those who worked from 2002 to 2013 and formed this part of pension savings. Transfer of funded pension to PDS allows to "unfreeze" these funds and already now make them part of their capital," she told RIA Novosti.
Podolskaya explained that pension funds can be transferred in different ways: through the websites of pension funds, in branches of commercial banks, through online applications of banks, as well as through Gosusgoservices.
She also noted that the PDS participants' money is insured for up to Br2.8 million, as well as the participants can receive an annual tax deduction for the paid contributions of up to Br52 thousand, inherit the invested funds and even receive co-financing from the state in the amount of up to Br36 thousand per year.
Earlier, January 22, the Ministry of Finance reported that Br216 billion was attracted to the PDS program by the end of 2024. The program was launched at the beginning of this year and was to attract Br250 billion on the instructions of the President. Thus, the PDS fell short of Br34 billion.
