In accordance with amendments to the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which provide for pension benefits from the VPC in the manner and under the conditions specified in the VPC pension agreement and the UAPF pension rules, a no-declaration procedure for pension benefits from the VPC has been introduced starting in 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 disability.The no- application procedure for pension benefits from the VPC (if any) provides for:automatic assignment of UAPF pension benefits through the VPC when applying to the State Corporation in the prescribed manner for a pension from the state budget and payments through compulsory pension contributions (CPC) and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPC) in connection with reaching retirement age;making payments through the VPC as part of a proactive service based on the results of an annual reconciliation with the State Corporation for the presence of pension payments by age and/or state basic pension benefit assigned from budgetary funds for the specified persons in the information system of the authorized body in the sphere of social protection of the population.The no-application procedure was adopted to establish a unified approach to pension benefits from the UAPF for individuals who have reached retirement age. This innovation optimizes pension benefits through the VPC and eliminates the risk of unclaimed pension savings from the VPC by individuals who have reached the generally established retirement age but have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability.Pension benefits from the VPC will be made in a lump sum if the amount of pension savings from the VPC does not exceed twelve times the minimum pension established by the law on the republican budget and in effect as of January 1 of the relevant financial year (in 2026 – 828,588 tenge (12 * 69,049)) or until the pension savings are depleted, according to a monthly schedule, combined with benefits from compulsory contributions. However, the beneficiary may apply to the UAPF to change the terms of VPC payments.We remind you that individuals who have reached the age of fifty or who have a disability can apply to the UAPF for VPC payments through their personal account on the UAPF website or mobile app, as well as at a Fund office.Detailed information on the VPC payment process is available on the UAPF website in the "Services"/"VPC benefits" section.         UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC.

Imagine a situation: the level of the Caspian Sea rose sharply and your car was swept into the sea, or another natural disaster occurred. The car cannot be restored, but did you know that the state revenue authorities "do not see" this until you give a sign? Why does the tax keep dripping? The transport tax is calculated as long as the car is registered with you in the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if the car has turned into a rusty pile of metal, it is considered an object of taxation. Algorithm of actions:Immediately call the police or emergency services. You will need an official document confirming the fact of destruction or damage to property.Do not delay the removal of cars from the register "for later". The tax stops accruing only from the month following the month of de-registration.Check the e-Salyq Azamat app or the egov portal.kz that the status of the car has changed to "De-registered".Remember: One extra month in the registry is a tax that will have to be paid to the budget. Act fast! (Unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1188715?lang=kk
