By region, the highest number of pensioners is in the Fergana region, where 500,800 individuals are registered. In the Samarkand region, there are 451,600 pensioners, while Tashkent city and region have 380,400 and 383,100 pensioners respectively.

At the same time, the digitization and automation of pension payments are ongoing. This process aims to create greater convenience for beneficiaries and ensure transparency in the payment system.
Starting from October, the process of receiving pensions in cash is carried out through biometric Face-ID verification. These changes serve to make the pension system more efficient and secure (Source: Pension Fund, Ministry of Finance).
