The Federation Council proposed to exempt senior tenants from insurance payments

As a rule, these senior tenants are the retirees, but such payments put them in the category of working persons, which is why their pension is not indexed.

According to Parlamentskaya Gazeta, the initiative was supported by the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council committee, Sergei Ryabukhin. He noted that management companies pay their senior tenants salaries in envelopes, and such payments need to be legalized. Ryabukhin believes that the idea needs to be formalized into a bill. He clarified that it is not only about pensioners.

"This is an illegal salary, which is simply ugly. Therefore, we want to legalize such payments so that everything is legal. But it is necessary that payments to social funds should not be collected from this amount", - said the deputy chairman of the budget committee.

Losses for the budget will be insignificant, Ryabukhin is sure, and "the indirect effect of maintaining the housing stock and putting things in order will be large".

It's worth reminding that the Ministry of Labor proposed to increase social pensions by 3.4% (up to 10,183 rubles) from April 1.
