Retired workers and civil servants receive their raises according to six-month inflation data.

Inflation was 8.9 percent in July, August and September. In this case, the increase or inflation difference that they will receive for SSK and Bağkur pensions in the three-month period turns out to be 8.9 percent.

Pensioners received a raise of 24.73 percent, which is the six-month inflation rate, in June.
