The Georgian government has approved a new electronic information exchange procedure between the Pension Agency and the Treasury Service of the Ministry of Finance to improve coordination and monitoring of pension contributions.
Under the new rules, the Treasury will provide relevant information to the Pension Agency electronically, enabling the agency to manage pension contribution records more effectively and verify submitted data.
According to Finance Ministry data, fines imposed for failure to make mandatory pension contributions exceeded GEL 4.7 million in the first six months of 2026, already surpassing the full-year figure of GEL 3.7 million recorded in 2025. In June alone, penalties totaled GEL 2.1 million.
Employer liability for pension contribution violations was tightened from May 2025. The first violation carries a GEL 500 fine, while repeated violations result in a GEL 1,000 penalty, plus additional charges required by law. The Pension Agency has received around 3,000 appeals from employers, which are currently under review.
