Collateral Requirement Prevents SGK Premium Instalments

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman of the Board of Directors İdris Alan stated that the collateral being requested prevents the 12- and 24-month instalment plans for SGK premium payments, whose payment deadline is 31 August 2023, and causes grievances.

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman of the Board of Directors İdris Alan said: “During the time we spend at our Chamber, we listen to the demands of our members. We had to make this statement because of an issue causing serious difficulties. As you will appreciate, Elazığ experienced a major earthquake in the 6 February  earthquake. Because of this earthquake, our members' SGK premiums were deferred. Long live our State, and our thanks to it. Instalments of between twelve and twenty-four months are also being made. However, the Social Security Institution requests a letter of guarantee for these instalments. Because they cannot provide this letter of guarantee, our members come to us and present their difficulties to us. The same difficulty applies to the tax office as well. I ask our esteemed Members of Parliament, our esteemed provincial party chairman, and those representing our province, including the opposition, Mr Semih Işıkver and Mr Gürsel Erol, to be sensitive on this matter. This is an important issue and an important difficulty for our members. If they support us on this matter, we will be grateful to them.”
