This amount consists of the monthly social payment and the monetary compensation of the serviceman, which depends primarily on the salary for the military position held by the serviceman, the salary for the military rank and the length of service. So, an ordinary officer with a motorized rifle will receive a minimum of 195 thousand rubles.
2. The minimum amount of 195 thousand rubles will be received by those who served from October 1 to 31. If the serviceman served not 31 days, but, for example, 20 days, then the amount of the accrued cash allowance will be less, in proportion to the period served in October.

At the request of a serviceman, the cash allowance can be transferred to his relatives, for this the serviceman must issue a power of attorney. In addition, there is the possibility of issuing an additional bank card linked to the same current account that the serviceman previously provided. But the serviceman makes this decision himself and prepares an additional bank card himself.
7. The monetary compensation of a serviceman called up for partial mobilization is subject to income tax in the same way as for all servicemen on contract military service. The social payment established by the President of Russia in the amount of 158 thousand rubles is not subject to income tax.
