JAKARTA - The increase in the salary and basic pension of the state civil apparatus (ASN) will take effect from March 2024.

Director General of Treasury Astera Primanto Bhakti said that the adjustment of the basic salary and pension is expected to improve performance and welfare. In addition, to maintain the implementation of the transformation of bureaucratic reform, it is effective, realizing an efficient, competent, professional and integrity central and regional bureaucracy.

"For the payment of salaries for civil servants, TNI soldiers, members of the National Police and PPPK, the work unit can apply for payment of salaries in March 2024 with new basic salary and lack of salary in January and February 2024 which are submitted to the State Treasury Service Office (KPPN) starting on February 1, 2024," he quoted Antara as saying.

In general, the amount of income improvement is in the form of an increase in salary for Central and Regional/TNI/Polri ASN by 8 percent and an increase for retirees by 12 percent.

The adjustment of the basic salary and pension is an adjustment carried out after a periodic evaluation by the government.

In addition, in the context of paying basic pensions for retirees, recipients of honorary allowances, and pioneering allowances for the national movement/independence, the Ministry of Finance (cq. Directorate General of Treasury) has issued letters to PT Taspen (Persero) and PT Asabri (Persero) to carry out payments with new principal pensions and will be carried out starting on February 1, 2024.

As for retirees, recipients of honorary allowances, and pioneering allowances for the national movement/independence, they will gradually accept payments for the lack of pension payments in January and February 2024 starting February 1, 2024, which will be paid through PT Taspen (Persero) and PT Asabri (Persero).
