Trusting intermediaries offering services for obtaining pension savings is dangerous! 28.04.2026
Offers to act as intermediaries for obtaining pension savings above the minimum sufficiency threshold (MST) for any category of citizen continue to be distributed on social media and online classifieds platforms, in exchange for a fee, which is required as an advance payment for the alleged services. The Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) once again warns: lump sum pension payments are made without intermediaries or commissions. By agreeing to participate in dubious schemes, you will not only lose your money but also jeopardize the security of your personal data, which may subsequently be used for other fraudulent activities. We also remind you: receiving pension savings is only possible in cases strictly defined by the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. These include, first and foremost, reaching retirement age, permanent disability of Groups 1 or 2, moving to permanent residence, and inheritance. Pension savings may be used for housing improvements and/or medical treatment, subject to legally established conditions: Depositors with savings exceeding the minimum sufficiency threshold (up to the amount above the minimum monthly wage);Pensioners whose pension is at least 40% of their lost income (previously received wages) – they can use up to 50% of their remaining savings in the account;Retirees with years of service (up to 100% of their savings);Depositors with a pension annuity agreement (up to 100% of their savings). The targeted use of pension savings for housing or medical treatment is possible only through authorized operators – second-tier banks. Accordingly, the services of intermediaries are not required. The ENPF does not charge any commissions. The ENPF strongly recommends that its depositors and recipients ignore such offers, obtain information from official sources, and act exclusively within the legal framework.You can get answers to all your questions and verify information regarding the withdrawal and transfer of your pension savings both at ENPF branches and remotely:- via the enpf.kz website or the BZhZK/ENPF mobile app;- via the toll-free multi-channel call center number 1418, or via WhatsApp at +7 777 000 1418;- on the ENPF's official social media pages on popular platforms such as Odnoklassniki, Telegram, Facebook, VKontakte, and Instagram.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1210323?lang=kk

Voluntary pension contributions: how to make contributions and when can you receive them? 28.04.2026
"Topical Questions about the ENPF" Please provide more details about voluntary pension contributions. The funded pension system in Kazakhstan includes the following types of contributions: mandatory contributions (10% of the employee's salary, deducted monthly by the employer), mandatory professional pension contributions (5% of the income of workers in hazardous and dangerous occupations, paid by the employer from their own budget), and mandatory employer pension contributions (MPEC) starting in 2024 for all employees born in 1975 and later (from 1.5% in 2024, gradually increasing to 5% in 2028). There are also voluntary pension contributions (VPC), which can be made by both individuals and legal entities. Individuals contribute for themselves and/or their loved ones from their own income, while legal entities contribute for their employees and/or third parties. It's worth noting that individuals pay voluntary pension contributions (VPC) on their own initiative, independently determining the amount and frequency of contributions. This is one of the advantages of this type of contribution.Please tell me how I can make voluntary pension contributions? Can my employer do this?Voluntary pension contributions (VPC) can be made by both individuals and legal entities. Individuals contribute for themselves and/or their loved ones from their own income, while legal entities contribute for their employees and/or third parties.Voluntary pension contributions can be made through second-tier banks or by submitting an application to the employer, upon which they will transfer the contributions to the UAPF for the benefit of the person making the application.An individual pension account for VPC is opened automatically without an application based on:- lists of individuals submitted by agents to the ENPF when transferring VPC;- an initial contribution received by the ENPF from an individual for their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party when transferring VPC.How and when can I start receiving payments through voluntary pension contributions?Pension payments through VPC can be started before reaching retirement age – starting at age 50. They are also provided to individuals with disabilities, as well as foreigners and stateless persons who have permanently moved outside the Republic of Kazakhstan, unless otherwise provided by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan.We remind you that individuals who have reached the age of fifty or who have a disability can apply to the ENPF to receive payments through the VPC in their personal account on the ENPF website or mobile app, as well as at the Fund's office.Detailed information on the procedure for receiving payments through the VPC can be found on the ENPF website in the "Services"/"VPC Payments" section.You can easily monitor your pension savings from all types of contributions 24/7 in your personal account on the enpf.kz website.When are pension payments from voluntary pension contributions assigned automatically?In accordance with amendments to the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which provide for pension payments from the VPC in the manner and under the conditions specified in the VPC pension agreement and the UAPF pension rules, a no-application procedure for pension payments from the VPC has been introduced since March 2026 for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF through the VPC, but who have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or due to disability.The no-application procedure for pension payments from the VPC (if any) provides for:Automatic assignment of pension payments by the UAPF through the VPC upon application to the State Corporation in the prescribed manner for a pension from the state budget and payments from mandatory pension contributions (MPC) and/or mandatory professional pension contributions (MPPC) in connection with reaching retirement age;Payments from the VDP are made as part of a proactive service based on the results of an annual reconciliation with the State Corporation to determine whether the specified individuals have old-age pension payments and/or state basic pension payments assigned from budgetary funds in the information system of the authorized body in the field of social protection.The application-free procedure was adopted to establish a unified approach to pension payments from the UAPF for individuals who have reached retirement age. This innovation optimizes pension payments from the VDP and eliminates the risk of unclaimed pension savings from the VDP by individuals who have reached the generally established retirement age and who have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability.Pension payments from the VDP will be made in a lump sum if the amount of pension savings from the VDP does not exceed twelve times the amount of the pension fund.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1210335?lang=kk

Documentary “Digital Revolutionaries: 20 Years of eGov” reveals the story behind Kazakhstan’s e-Government 28.04.2026
Khabar Agency JSC, in collaboration with the team of NITEC JSC, has released the documentary “Digital Revolutionaries: 20 Years of eGov”, dedicated to the development and evolution of Kazakhstan’s e-Government, one of the key digital projects of independent Kazakhstan.The film tells the story that transformed the everyday lives of millions of Kazakhstani citizens. Today, public services are accessible in just a few clicks, whereas 20 years ago obtaining even a simple certificate meant long queues, paperwork, and visits to multiple government offices.The documentary takes viewers back to the early 2000s, when the idea of e-Government was just beginning to take shape. A small group of enthusiasts (IT specialists, economists, and public administrators) undertook what at the time seemed an almost impossible task: to completely rethink the interaction between the state and its citizens.For the first time, the film presents first-hand accounts of how the eGov concept was developed in 2003, why the launch of the eGov.kz portal in 2006 was compared to “a journey into space”, what technological and legislative barriers had to be overcome, how the infrastructure was built, from databases to the e-Government Gateway, and how Kazakhstan ultimately became one of the global leaders in online public services according to the UN rankings.The protagonists of the film are the key figures behind the country’s digital transformation, those who stood at the origins of eGov and continue to develop it today, including Kuanishbek Yessekeev, Saken Sarsenov, Bagdat Mussin, Askar Zhumagaliyev, Aziza Shuzheeva, and others.Link to the film: How Kazakhstan built one of the world's most advanced e-Government systems. Kuanishbek Yessekeev: “There were very dynamic working groups. The entire IT market took part. Processes were developed from the standards that would govern data exchange to the way the system itself would ultimately function”.Viktor Abramov: "It was a large-scale startup at the state level. We were not afraid to make mistakes, we experimented with new technologies and kept moving forward, even when no solutions existed".Asset Turyssov: "The pandemic became a real crash test for eGov. At that moment, the system came of age and proved its resilience".Zhaslan Madiyev: “The results we are proud of today are the outcome of many years of hard work, bold decisions, and the professionalism of a large team”.Over the past 20 years, eGov has evolved from an informational portal into a fully-fledged digital ecosystem of public services. Today, it is no longer just a digital platform, but an integral part of the daily lives of millions of Kazakhstani citizens and a key element of the country’s digital transformation. To fully grasp the scale of this transformation, it is enough to look at a single year: in 2025 alone, more than 51 million public services were delivered online, nearly half of them via smartphones. Today, over 90% of public services are available in digital format. The film highlights that eGov is not only about technology, but also about people. Thousands of specialists who built the system from scratch worked without ready-made solutions, made mistakes, refined their work, and ultimately created one of the most advanced digital government platforms in the region.The documentary “Digital Revolutionaries: 20 Years of eGov” is a story of courage, belief in ideas, and the transformation of an entire nation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-selinograd/press/news/details/1210357?lang=kk

New initiative in the National Guard: best soldiers awarded the rank of junior sergeant 28.04.2026
A key feature of the new initiative introduced in the National Guard is that the most distinguished conscript servicemen are now given the opportunity to be awarded the rank of junior sergeant during their period of service.Among the first to benefit from this opportunity is Junior Sergeant Nurkeldi Zhayylkhan. He completed specialized training at the National Guard training center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and was awarded the rank. He is currently serving in military unit 5573 in Astana.It should be noted that, for the first time, the rank of junior sergeant at the training center has been awarded to soldiers who demonstrated strong knowledge and professional skills. The selected servicemen underwent training camps and internships, after which they were involved in training new recruits.Today, they organize unit activities, command subunits during operational tasks, and, as patrol leaders, participate in maintaining public order.In total, this opportunity has been granted to 30 guardsmen. Its advantage lies in the fact that after completing their service, soldiers can begin a career in law enforcement agencies without delay, already holding the rank of junior sergeant.The implementation of this project not only enhances the professional level of young servicemen but also significantly increases their motivation for service.
