The list of goods for households with salaries of 20 million tomans was also cut off.
With the announcement of new income criteria, the Iranian government cut the list of households with one to three people with an income of 20 million tomans and households with four people with an income of 27 million tomans, and the list of one million households was removed in the first stage of this decision.
This decision was made at a time when point-to-point inflation reached 88.7% and the minimum cost of living for a family of four is estimated at between 100 and 120 million tomans. As a result, the declared income ceiling covers only about a quarter of the poverty line, and Kelberg's credit (1 to 1.5 million otmans) was found to be insufficient to buy basic goods at inflated prices.
