The Government has just issued Resolution No. 263/NQ-CP on giving gifts to people on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2.
The Resolution clearly states that 100,000 VND/person, in cash, will be donated to Vietnamese citizens and people of Vietnamese origin who have not yet determined their nationality but have been granted an ID card and are residing in Vietnam and have been collected, updated, and issued personal identification numbers in the National Population Database, established at the end of August 30.
Regarding the form of giving gifts and giving gifts once per household, the amount of each household is determined for each person in the household according to national population data; the household owner (or a family member legally authorized by the household owner) is allowed to receive gifts on behalf of each person and is responsible for transferring gifts to members of the household.
In case the citizen does not have a place to register for permanent residence, the gift will be given directly to each citizen or person authorized by the citizen.
The gift giving is done through a social security account on the electronic identification application - VNeID (in case there is an integrated account); or directly in cash (in case there is no account) at the payment point organized by the locality, ensuring timeliness, safety and efficiency.
The payment period is concentrated from August 31 to September 1; in case the customer can receive the gift after this deadline, but no later than September 15.
The Resolution clearly states that there are targeted supplements from the central budget expenditure estimate for 2025 decided by the National Assembly but has not yet allocated in detail to the provincial and municipal budgets 10,700.3 billion VND to implement the giving of gifts to the people according to demographic data provided by the Ministry of Public Security.
