- Soon I'm going to retire, where can I apply for a pension?
In order to receive both the basic and solidarity (PAYG) pension from the state budget, and pension benefits from the UAPF at the expense of compulsory pension contributions and (or) compulsory occupational pension contributions (if any), when you reach retirement age, you should apply with a single application to the State Corporation (PSC) at the place of residence with the presentation, among other things, of an identity document, as well as information about a bank account.
Documents can be accepted by employees of the State Corporation 10 days before the beneficiary reaches retirement age.
Pension benefits from the UAPF are established from the date of application (the day the beneficiary's application is registered with the State Corporation or the date the right to pension benefits from the UAPF arises) and are made until the pension savings on the individual pension saving account of the contributor are exhausted.
- My wife and I wanted to transfer our pension savings to an insurance company, but she does not have enough of them to transfer. Heard that we can combine our pension savings, how to do it?
Quite right, the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 12, 2022 No. 138-VII On amendments and additions to certain legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the regulation and development of the insurance market and the securities market, banking activities introduced amendments and additions to the pension legislation, which entered into force on September 12, 2022, including allowing contributors (beneficiaries), in cases provided for by law, to conclude a pension annuity agreement together with spouses or close relatives.
A joint annuity is a product that implies the participation in a pension annuity agreement of two insureds (assureds) who are spouses or close relatives in accordance with the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Marriage (Matrimony) and Family and simultaneously insured.
A joint annuity, unlike the classic pension annuity, allows you to combine pension savings and redistribute income under a pension annuity agreement.
It should be noted that in order to conclude a pension annuity agreement, the amount of pension savings must be sufficient to ensure benefit of at least 70 percent of the subsistence minimum (1.4 times the subsistence minimum in the event that a pension annuity agreement is concluded by two persons), established by the law on the republican budget and effective as of January 1 of the relevant financial year.
The list of persons entitled to transfer pension savings to an insurance organization, and the package of documents required for this can be found here on the Fund's website.

In turn, departure for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out after registration of documents for departure by the internal affairs bodies.
Compliance with this legislative requirement is necessary for the person who left for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan to fulfill all obligations to the Republic of Kazakhstan and its citizens for debts, loans, alimony and other obligations, if any.
Pension benefits from the UAPF to foreigners and stateless persons who have left for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan are paid at a time within 10 working days from the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF.
The list of required documents, depending on the method of their submission to the UAPF (in person / through postal services / a third party), the requirements for their execution, as well as application forms and samples of their completion, depending on the type of payment currency, samples of powers of attorney can be found here on our website.

- I am a pensioner and the other day I received a message on messenger from an unfamiliar number, which offers assistance in withdrawing 50% of my pension savings. Can I trust them?
The legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for the use by pensioners of their pension savings formed at the expense of CPC and (or) compulsory occupational pension contributions (hereinafter - COPC) in order to improve living conditions and (or) pay for medical treatment for themselves or their spouse, or close relatives in case of provided that the amount of the pension ensures the replacement rate of the beneficiary's average monthly income at a level not lower than 40 percent, determined in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, the lump-sum pension benefit cannot exceed 50 percent of the amount of pension savings at the expense of the CPC and (or) COPC of the contributor (beneficiary) as of the date of receipt of the initial electronic notification from the authorized operator.
In this regard, we strongly recommend that you do not trust and ignore such "fake" messages and remind you that all transactions conducted by UAPF are carried out free of charge.
- I have a small company producing plastic windows, which employs excellent craftsmen. I would like to transfer voluntary contributions to their pension accounts as an incentive. How to do this and will there be positive moments for me in this case?
Voluntary pension contributions (VPC) can be transferred both by a contributor - an individual at the expense of his income in his favor, and by a contributor - an individual or legal entity in favor of the beneficiary. The frequency of VPC is determined by the contributor independently.
At the same time, the employer, by transferring VPC in favor of his employees, receives tax advantages, since VPC paid by the tax agent at his own expense in favor of the employee are deductible when calculating corporate income tax, and the amount of VPC paid by the employer in favor of the employee is not are treated as employee income and are not considered for personal income tax purposes.
For the employee, this will positively affect the increase in the amount of pension savings formed at the expense of the VPC, and, accordingly, the increase in the amount of pension benefits from the UAPF. In addition, the employee has the opportunity to submit an application to the employer, on the basis of which the latter will regularly transfer VPC to the UAPF in favor of the applicant or a third party.
The basis for opening an individual pension saving account in the UAPF for accounting for VPC is the primary VPC received by the UAPF from an individual in their favor or in favor of a third party / a list of individuals submitted by agents to the UAPF when transferring VPC in the manner determined by the regulatory legal act of the authorized body.
The contributor (beneficiary) is considered to have acceded to the pension agreement at the expense of VPC from the date of receipt of the VPC amount.
You can transfer VPC through second-tier banks and branches of Kazpost JSC. Some STBs provide an opportunity to transfer contributions online (through their mobile application or self-service terminals).
The list of persons entitled to pension benefits formed at the expense of VPC, and the package of documents required for this can be found here on the UAPF website.
Yes, indeed it is so. From July 1, 2023, Kazakhstanis who have retired due to length of service have the right to use pension savings formed through compulsory pension contributions and can withdraw them in full to improve their living conditions and/or for medical treatment. But before submitting an application for withdrawal, it is necessary to clarify with the UAPF the availability and amount of savings. After this, you need to contact authorized operators. For the use of pension savings for housing, authorized operators are Housing Construction Savings Bank Otbasy Bank JSC (portal www.enpf-otbasy.kz), Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC, Altyn Bank JSC, Bank CenterCredit JSC and Bank Freedom Finance Kazakhstan. The authorized operator for medical treatment is Otbasy Bank only.
Having decided to transfer savings to one or more Investment Portfolio Managers (IPM), the contributor must contact the UAPF with an application, which can be submitted through a personal account on the Fund’s website www.enpf.kz or by personally contacting any branch. All necessary information and step-by-step instructions are posted on the website in the services section - TRANSFER OF PART OF PENSION SAVINGS TO TRUST MANAGEMENT, as well as on the Youtube channel in our video instructions.
With the entry into force of the Social Code on July 1, 2023, when transferring pension savings into trust management of companies managing an investment portfolio, the minimum adequacy threshold is not taken into account. Contributors can transfer up to 50% of savings formed through compulsory pension and compulsory occupational pension contributions. If there are voluntary pension savings, they can be transferred in full.
There are currently five portfolio managers in the market. Their full list can be found on the website www.enpf.kz.
These are companies that meet the requirements of the regulator - the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market. These companies also entered into a trust management agreement with the UAPF and an agreement with the custodian bank. When choosing a management company, we advise you to carefully study its history, as well as its investment declaration, reviews of investment activities, experience and investment results.
The state guarantee of the safety of pension savings is provided only for savings managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. When pension savings are transferred under the management of IPM, the state guarantee is replaced by a guarantee from the management company. It must provide a return not lower than the minimum level of return on assets. This level is calculated based on the weighted average return on pension assets transferred to the management of all IPMs operating in the pension asset management market.
One of the directions of the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which entered into force on July 1, 2023, is the further improvement of the pension system, in connection with which the implementation of a number of innovations is envisaged.
The changes also apply to the amount of the UAPF commission on pension assets, which will decrease from 0.01 to 0.008 percent per month from July 1, 2023. Moreover, it cannot be more than the value defined as the product of 0.04 times the monthly calculation indicator established by the law on the republican budget and valid as of January 1 of the corresponding financial year, and the number of individual pension saving accounts of contributors (beneficiaries) with pension savings for accounting for compulsory pension contributions opened in the UAPF as of the 1st day of the corresponding calendar month.
Let us remind you that the commission remuneration of the UAPF was previously revised in 2021. From that time on, the UAPF commission amounted to no more than 0.01% of pension assets. Moreover, starting from 2021, the UAPF does not charge a commission on investment income. It is charged only by pension asset managers: the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK, no more than 2% of investment income) and investment portfolio managers (no more than 7.5% of investment income). At the same time, in 2023, the NBRK commission fee on investment income was 1.5%, and in 2022 - 1.8%.
Note that when creating the UAPF, it was legislated that the amount of commission for the UAPF should not exceed 7.5% of investment income and 0.025% per month of pension assets. This is two times less than what private non-state pension funds received. At the same time, the UAPF, together with the NBRK, annually worked to reduce commission fees and optimize the fund’s expenses. For example, in 2016-2017 the commission on pension assets was 0.0225%, in 2018 and 2019 - 0.015%, in 2020 - 0.011%.
Thus, during the operation of the UAPF, commission fees from pension assets were reduced by 68%.
The funds received are used primarily to develop services for contributors and beneficiaries, ensure the safety of information about the personal data of contributors and to other areas of the Fund’s activities. All services provided by UAPF are fully provided free of charge.
Yes, from July 2023, according to the adopted Social Code, in the event of the death of a person who has pension savings in the UAPF, members of his family will receive a lump sum payment for funeral expenses from the pension savings of the deceased person within the amount of 94 times the monthly calculation index established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget (MCI), but not more than the funds of the deceased available on the individual pension account (IPSA).
If the balance of pension savings on the IPSA of the deceased person after making a lump sum funeral payment amounts to an amount not exceeding the MCI, this balance is paid as a funeral payment to the family members of the deceased. Let us recall that previously an application for a lump sum payment for a funeral could also be submitted by the persons who performed the burial, and the payment was an amount equal to 52.4 times the MCI.
In the event of the death of a person who has pension savings in the UAPF, they are inherited in the manner established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Find out in detail about the procedure, deadlines and list of documents required for the UAPF to make funeral payments to heirs on the UAPF website
The UAPF notifies its contributors (beneficiaries) that persons who have pension savings in the UAPF formed through:
compulsory pension contributions and (or) compulsory occupational pension contributions, and disability of the first or second group established indefinitely, voluntary pension contributions, and disability regardless of the group and period of disability,
has the right to receive pension benefits according to the established schedule before the generally established retirement age.
The contributor (beneficiary) does not need to present documents confirming his status him/herself - the UAPF with the consent of the contributor (beneficiary), provided in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Personal Data and Their Protection, independently checks the presence of disability (group, validity period) via the Internet -service by requesting information from the Centralized Data Bank of Persons with Disabilities information system of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan (MLSPP) through the State Corporation “Government for Citizens” (State Corporation) within the framework of an agreement concluded between the MLSPP, the State Corporation and UAPF.
You can submit an application for payment of pension savings by contacting the UAPF in person through the website enpf.kz, in the office or through an authorized person, or by mail.
Detailed instructions for submitting an application through the website enpf.kz can be found here.
Please note that the UAPF also organizes on-site services for persons with disabilities of the first or second group established for an indefinite period. In this case, a preliminary consultation is carried out, including checking the possibility of receiving services remotely, without traveling.
UAPF JSC in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Pension Provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in the event of the death of a contributor (beneficiary), issues certificates on the existence of an individual pension saving account, on the balances and movements of funds on it upon written request to the heirs in accordance with the certificate of the right to inheritance by law or specified in the will, or by the courts on the basis of a ruling on inheritance cases in their proceedings, as well as notaries and foreign consular offices in inheritance cases in their proceedings.
To optimize interaction and save time, as well as to eliminate unnecessary paperwork, with the help of the E-notariat Unified Notary Information System, notaries themselves can send requests to the UAPF about whether deceased contributors (beneficiaries) have an individual pension saving account in the UAPF, about balances and the movement of money on it online, without sending written requests.
Therefore, when registering with a notary the inheritance property in the form of your father's pension savings, you do not need to make a request to the UAPF about the amount available on his pension account.
No, your account will not be closed, as we understand that your IPSA has pension savings that were transferred earlier when you were still working.
According to the Rules for keeping records of pension savings from compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions and voluntary pension contributions on individual pension saving accounts of contributors (beneficiaries), approved by the Resolution of the Board of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market dated February 12, 2021 No. 27, IPSA of contributors (beneficiaries) are closed after one month, provided there are no pension savings.
As long as your IPSA has at least some amount of pension savings, but it is temporarily not replenished, your IPSA will not be closed. Moreover, it will continue to accrue investment income.
Recall that unclaimed amounts of pension savings are not subject to write-off by the UAPF until the demand for this amount by the beneficiaries or their heirs.
In the future, when you apply for a job, your pension contributions will continue to flow into your current IPSA.
Within the framework of collective (corporate) pension plans, widely used in developed countries (Great Britain, USA, Canada, New Zealand), the employee and the employer make joint contributions to the employee's pension account, i.e. the employer shares the responsibility for the pension provision of its employees.
The employer's contribution to the employee is financed from its own funds. Employers use this opportunity as a tool to increase employee loyalty, attract and retain key personnel, and to ensure a higher level of retirement income for employees after retirement. In Kazakhstan, the participants of the new pension system will be employees, in favor of whom employers will transfer the employer's compulsory pension contributions calculated from the monthly income of employees and transferred at the expense of the employer's own funds to personalized notional pension saving accounts (hereinafter referred to as NPSA) in the UAPF.
The opening of the NPSA in the UAPF for accounting of the ECPC will be carried out on the basis of the list of individuals submitted by the agent to the UAPF through the State Corporation "Government for Citizens", when transferring the ECPC. For each participant in the system, it is envisaged to open the NPSA in automatic mode on the day the lists of individuals are accepted, upon receipt of the first installment or penalty in favor of an individual without a NPSA with the assignment of a unique NPSA number.
At the same time, it is planned to gradually introduce the ECPC in the following order: from January 1, 2024 - in the amount of 1.5 percent, with an annual increase of 1 percent - until reaching 5 percent from January 1, 2028.
The phased introduction of ECPC will alleviate the burden on the employer.
It should be noted that the ECPC will be paid out only for workers born after January 1, 1975.
Persons who have reached retirement age, as well as persons with disabilities of the first and second groups, if the disability is established indefinitely, with at least 5 years (60 months) of participation in the ECPC system, will be entitled to pension benefits at the expense of the ECPC.
The maximum size of the pension benefit at the expense of the ECPC cannot exceed two times the subsistence minimum established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget.
Pension benefits at the expense of ECPC are assigned for life, paid for the current month and are made for the month of death or departure for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan, inclusive.
Please note that, unlike the accumulative pension system, pension savings at the expense of the ECPC in the conditional funded component are not inherited (since they are not the property of the employee and the employer), are not subject to withdrawal from the UAPF in the form of lump-sum pension benefits in order to improve housing conditions and (or) to pay for treatment from the UAPF, cannot be transferred to the trust management of the IPM, and they are not covered by the state guarantee of the safety of pension savings.
The government, along with the introduction of the ECPC, is considering the possibility of reducing the burden on the employer's payroll by reducing social payments and tax breaks. In general, with the introduction of the ECPC, responsibility for providing pensions to citizens will be distributed between the state, the employee and the employer.

Also, through it, you can track the status of your account, find out about all changes in the pension system, see the location of the nearest UAPF office, and even call the contact center.
Also, each UAPF contributor, using the website and mobile application, can find out if he has enough funds for IPSA to exercise his right to use part of his pension savings for housing improvement or treatment, or for transfer to companies managing the investment portfolio.
We want to remind you right away that the operation of the Single Aggregate Payment (SAP) as a tax regime for self-employed citizens was provided by the Tax Code only for a 5-year period - from 2019 to 2023, that is, it is valid only until the end of the current year.
SAP is payable in total. Payment of SAP is made by depositing SAP by the payer in cash or by bank transfer through banks and organizations carrying out certain types of banking operations to the bank account of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" subject to the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Payments and Payment Systems".
Payment of SAP by payers is carried out independently or by a third party in their favor, indicating the month of the calendar year for which SAP is paid in the format "MMYYYY".
At the same time, SAP can be paid for the current and subsequent months of the calendar year.
SAP Amount:
1 MCI - for individuals residing in the cities of republican significance, the capital and regional significance (KZT3,450.00 in 2023);
0.5 MCI - for individuals living in other settlements (KZT1,725.00 in 2023).
SAP combines four mandatory wage types:
In 2022, about 7 thousand persons who have reached retirement age and have pension savings in the UAPF, but who did not apply for them in a timely manner, received pension benefits, of which 4.5 thousand are women, 2.5 thousand are men. This became possible, among other things, as a result of the reconciliation that the UAPF annually conducts jointly with the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" NJSC (State Corporation) to identify persons who have reached retirement age and have pension savings in the UAPF, while receiving pension benefits according to age at the expense of budgetary funds, but who did not apply for payment to the UAPF.
The service was provided by the State Corporation in a proactive format to 24,000 people from this category of people.
At the same time, based on the results of the UAPF activities carried out with the State Corporation, it was decided to conduct additional targeted informing of the specified category of beneficiaries via e-mail and (or) telephone numbers of subscriber’s cellular devices.
As a result of targeted informing of the UAPF, about 20 thousand beneficiaries of pension benefits were informed.
The UAPF recommends applying for a pension in a timely manner and notifies that, according to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Pension Provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan, persons who have reached retirement age have pension payments from the UAPF at the expense of mandatory and mandatory professional pension contributions according to the established schedule: men - upon reaching 63 years, women - 61 years (until 2028), as well as disabled people of the first and second groups, if disability is established indefinitely. At the same time, we note that pension benefits from the UAPF are assigned from the date of application and are made until the pension savings are exhausted.
For registration of pension benefits from the UAPF in connection with:
upon reaching the retirement age, it is necessary to apply to the divisions of the State Corporation at the place of residence;
with a disability of the first or second group, established indefinitely - directly to the UAPF office or using an electronic digital signature, submit an appropriate application in your personal account on the UAPF website.
Detailed information can be obtained at the offices or on the Internet resources of the Fund, as well as by calling the toll-free number 1418.
The UAPF was established on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The UAPF founder and shareholder is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution “Committee of State Property and Privatization” of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. UAPF pension assets are managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. From January 1, 2016, the functions for developing proposals to improve the management of pension assets were transferred to the National Fund Management Council. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, pension benefits, individual accounting of pension accumulations and benefits, provides the contributor (beneficiary) with information on the status of his pension accumulations (for more information visit www.enpf.kz)
Now, the government offers Kazakhstani citizens to check their military service status in a proactive format without a single document. Information on draft deferment and exemption from conscription is provided within the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Military Service and Status of Military Personnel".
Conscripts will receive a notification via SMS from 1414 about the conscription status. The notification is sent to the young men aged 18-27 listed in the state databases, who meet the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Military Service".
The proactive service has been launched since March 1. Currently, notifications are sent on two statuses:
It is important to note that only those citizens who are registered in the Mobile Citizens Database will receive messages.
"Due to the joint efforts of MDDIAI of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan and NIT JSC, the service for provision of draft deferment and exemption from conscription has been transferred to a proactive format. Now, thanks to the capability, the conscripts know their status in advance. The proactive services are convenient as it is the government that offers the service which eliminates the need for a service recipient to gather documents. Thus, since March 1, 2023, 320 thousand conscripts have already received SMS from 1414" said Rostislav Konyashkin, Chairman of the Board, National Information Technologies JSC.
The service was launched thanks to the integration of "Smart Data Ukimet" information and analytical system operated by National Information Technologies JSC with databases of government agencies of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including the database of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
At the annual 5th International Digital Forum "Digital Almaty 2023", Jong-Sung Hwang, an international expert in the field of Big Data and President of the National Information Society Agency (NIA), which is the e-Government operator in South Korea, was highly impressed by the achievements and highlighted that "Smart Data Ukimet project is one of the best data-driven public services in the world".
The public service called "Application of out-of-court bankruptcy procedure" is available on the eGov.kz portal and eGov Mobile app. The service enables submitting requests for application and termination of out-of-court bankruptcy procedure.
Pursuant to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Solvency Restoration and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan", which came into force on March 3, 2023, only a debtor can submit a request for bankruptcy procedure via eGov.kz portal and eGov Mobile app.
Prior to submitting a request, a debtor should verify the following information:
"Dear users! There is no point in submitting a request via eGov.kz portal or visit CSC without a complete package of documents, please, first get the required confirmations from second-tier banks. Only after that you can apply for bankruptcy as an individual" said Rostislav Konyashkin, Chairman of the Board, National Information Technologies JSC.
On the eGov.kz portal, the new service can be found on the homepage in "For Citizenry" - "Customs and taxes" - "Economics and Finance". A similar service is available in the eGov Mobile app in the "Special Services" section.
To submit a request for application of out-of-court bankruptcy procedure one needs to:
The service delivery result will appear within 15 working days in personal account as a link to decision. The decision can be viewed on the website of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The out-of-court bankruptcy procedure will take up to 6 months.
Moreover, the service provides for submitting a request for termination of out-of-court bankruptcy procedure. The procedure also takes up to 6 months from the date of information publication.
The new service was implemented thanks to cooperation between National Information Technologies JSC, Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of RK and Ministry of Finance of RK.
The Digital Documents service by MDDIAI, which includes documents of a citizen (national ID, passport, driver's license, etc.), documents about a family (marriage certificate, birth certificates for children) has been replenished with another document (Other Documents tab), namely insurance policy for vehicle owners, which enables each vehicle owner to have a digital version of a document.
Implementation of tools for the provision of national ID, diplomas, driver's license and other documents, including an insurance policy was initiated due to the need to solve everyday issues by citizens, which imply provision of documents in paper form. Thus, an issue was settled through active introduction of digital mobile solutions formed by the e-Gov infrastructure.
This service is available thanks to the coordinated work of MDDIAI (represented by National Information Technologies JSC and e-Gov Mobile platform) and NBRK (represented by State Credit Bureau JSC, an operator of the Single Insurance Database).
An insurance policy is a document confirming the fact of contractual relations between an insurer and a policyholder under mandatory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners.
"Similar to other digital documents, an insurance policy also has legal force on a par with a paper document and contains information about an insurance company, expiration date of an insurance policy, etc. All the information in this digital document is displayed through integration interaction with the information system of "State Credit Bureau" JSC. The Ministry will continue to digitize documents to ensure even more convenience to the population", told Bagdat Musin, Head of MDDIAI.
The digital document provides citizens with a capability to view their document through a mobile application online as well as to verify its authenticity.
Information on availability or absence of an insurance policy is necessary to fulfill the requirements of the law on compulsory insurance, in particular, the civil liability of vehicle owners, it also can be used by citizens to control an insurance expiration date and for other purposes.
It should be noted that currently the Digital Documents service available at the eGov mobile app contains 20 documents (national ID, passport of citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, driving license, vaccination passport, PCR test and birth certificate, etc.), which are actively used by more than 7 million citizens.
Today, 678 public services are available in the eGov Mobile app, of which 204 services are from the eGov.kz portal and 474 services are from e-License Portal for individuals. About 2.4 million Kazakhstani citizens actively use it every month and about 50 thousand public services are delivered each month.
