Finance Minister Sri Mulyani reported that the total budget allocation for the Religious Holiday Allowance (THR) for civil servants (ASN), officials, TNI (Indonesian National Armed Forces), Polri (Indonesian National Police), and retired ASN this year reached Rp48.7 trillion.
However, as of March 24, 2024, only Rp13.4 trillion has been disbursed.
As of March 24, 2024, the disbursement of THR for central government ASN, officials, TNI, and Polri reached Rp3.2 trillion out of a total allocation of Rp18 trillion.
"This means that 625,112 employees from 4,722 work units have submitted payment orders (THR) and we have processed them so they can be paid," said Sri Mulyani in an online press conference on the Ministry of Finance's YouTube account, Monday (March 25, 2024).
The components of THR for ASN, officials, TNI, and Polri consist of basic salary, plus position/general allowance, allowances attached to the basic salary, 100% performance allowance for central government ASN, and 100% professional allowance for teachers and lecturers.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance has allocated Rp19 trillion for the THR of regional ASN, professional allowances for regional ASN teachers, and additional income for regional ASN teachers.
"For the realization of THR payments from the APBD (for regional ASN), we have not yet received the information. We will share it later," said Sri Mulyani.
Meanwhile, the realization of THR payments for retired ASN reached Rp10.2 trillion out of a total allocation of Rp11.7 trillion.
