Uzbekistan increases one-month military service payment following minimum wage hike

Starting October 1, the minimum wage will be raised to 1,155,000 UZS, which will also affect the payment for the mobilization call-up reserve.

According to the law, the payment amount for this reserve is equal to seven times the minimum wage. Therefore, from October 1, the payment for one-month military service will increase from the current 7,350,000 UZS to 8,085,000 UZS.

According to a government decision, individuals enrolled in the mobilization call-up reserve can make the payment in full or in installments within one year, based on an agreement made after they are enrolled.

The payments made by individuals in the mobilization call-up reserve are accumulated in the special account of the Ministry of Defense called the "Mobilization Call-Up Reserve Funds."

Citizens can be enrolled in the mobilization call-up reserve until they reach the age of 27. While serving in the reserve, they may be required to participate in monthly military training exercises, and in the event of an emergency or military aggression against Uzbekistan, they may be called to active military service.
