When Will the 2020 Eid al-Adha Bonus for Pensioners Be Paid? After the Eid al-Fitr bonuses were distributed to millions of retirees, attention now turns to the Eid al-Adha pension bonuses. Following the early payment of the Eid al-Fitr bonus due to the coronavirus outbreak, retirees are asking when the Eid al-Adha bonus will be paid. Many pensioners want to know whether the Eid al-Adha bonus will be paid early like the Eid al-Fitr bonus and when the funds will arrive in their accounts.
When Will the 2020 Eid al-Adha Bonus Be Paid?
When will the 2020 Eid al-Adha bonus be paid? Across Turkey, where there are roughly 13 million pensioners, bonuses are paid for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement about Eid al-Adha payments, but an announcement is expected.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Eid al-Fitr bonuses were paid to retirees about a month earlier than usual and were transferred to pensioners’ accounts in advance. As a result, many retirees are now searching for information about the timing of the Eid al-Adha payment. In 2020, Eid al-Adha falls between July 31 and August 3. For 2020, Eid al-Adha pension bonuses are scheduled to be distributed between July 27 and July 30. Pension bonuses are paid twice a year for the two religious holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. If bonus increases are adjusted in line with inflation, the revaluation increase will apply and the pre-holiday pension bonus amount will be paid as 1,225.80 Turkish Lira.
