First of all, the INPS reports that the payslip can already be consulted thanks to the online service that the Institute itself offers to pensioners, who can immediately ascertain the amount arriving and find out in detail any changes compared to previous months. Furthermore, INPS reports that for those who withdraw their pension in cash, the limit of 1,000 euros net remains in force. However, in the case of people receiving multiple pension or welfare benefits, the payment will be made "through a single mandate".
As mentioned, therefore, with the imminent arrival of the October monthly payment, the INPS will also automatically apply a series of tax benefits provided for by law 207/2024 for some retirement benefits subject to ordinary taxation. Among these there are, to name a few, the Social Ape, the isopension, the extraordinary allowances and the allowances provided for by the expansion contracts.
Going into detail, the new measures include a tax benefit differentiated based on income. In particular, for annual gross incomes up to 20,000 euros, the Institute has provided for a non-taxable sum for Irpef purposes, which has been called an "additional bonus". However, as regards incomes between 20,000 and 40,000 euros, however, a further tax deduction is provided.
That's not all, because with the October payment, the arrears of the additional bonus accrued since 1 January 2026 will also be recognised. In this sense, the INPS has indicated that the definitive verification of the overall benefit entitlement will be carried out at the end of the year. For further information and more information, you can consult message number 2829 of 14 September 2026.
The INPS also reports that all the operations for matching the accounting data transmitted by the Revenue Agency through forms 730/2026 are continuing. With the October payment, from this perspective, the Institute will also pay any credit refunds not yet recognized or apply the debit deductions that emerged following the tax return. Those who wish to find out more can check their situation through the online service "Tax assistance (730/4): citizen services", available on the INPS website and on the INPS Mobile app.
A notification not to be missed is the one linked to a deadline to keep in mind. In fact, by 10 October, all taxpayers will be able to submit the request electronically to obtain the reduction or cancellation of the second or single installment of the Irpef advance and the flat rate tax. The possibility is available for those who believe they have to pay a lower amount than that calculated on the basis of the tax return.
Meanwhile, still on the subject of pensions, it has recently emerged how demographic changes are in fact shaping the Italian pension system, increasingly pushing forward the age requirements to exit the job market and causing the curve of the relationship between spending and GDP to rise for at least another 15 years. The State General Accounting Office shed light on this situation in its usual annual report on the medium-long term trends of the pension and social-health system.
The latest Accounting tables, in fact, establish the increase in the retirement age linked to life expectancy. In 2027, in fact, you will retire at 67 years and one month of age and in 2028 at 67 years and three months. In 2029 it will further rise to 67 years and six months while in 2031 we will have to wait for 67 years and 8 months. To retire early, regardless of age, you will need to have 42 years and 11 months of contributions in 2027 and 43 years and one month in 2028. Then you will need 43 years and four months of contributions in 2029 and 43 years and 6 months of contributions in 2031 (one year less for women).
