Iran's Subsidy Agency Allocates Additional Food-Coupon Credit to Registered Households

Hassan Norouzi, head of Iran's Targeted Subsidies Organisation, said on Saturday, October 24, 2026 that 12,250 billion tomans had been transferred to the operator of the expanded electronic food-coupon programme. He said the allocation provides an additional 500,000 tomans per person per month for lower-income households that completed a self-declaration form on time, describing this group as 24,469,815 people in 9,497,248 households.

Norouzi said credits for people covered by the Relief Committee and the State Welfare Organisation had been financed and loaded separately earlier. These figures describe the stated allocation for specific groups, not a universal increase for all households. The reported overall beneficiary count does not reconcile exactly with the two groups, so it is not repeated here.
