According to the draft law developed by the cabinet of ministers, if pension, scholarship, or benefit payments are delayed for more than five days, a penalty of 0.15% of the debt amount will be charged for each day of delay.
At the same time, the total amount of the accrued penalty cannot exceed 200% of the principal debt. It is important to note that this limitation applies only from the moment of delay until a written demand for payment is submitted. After such a demand, the maximum penalty amount is no longer limited and is charged until full settlement.
Committee members, following the discussion, supported the draft law in the first reading.
