Based on the allowance fund contracted by the state budget for each village and residential group specified in this Article; the balancing capacity of the local budget; relevant legal regulations and the specific characteristics of villages and residential groups in the area, the Provincial People's Committee shall submit to the People's Council of the same level to specifically stipulate the following contents:

The remaining case will receive an allowance equal to 6.5 times the base salary (6.5 x 2,340,000 = 15,210,000 VND).
According to Decree No. 161/2026/ND-CP, the base salary will increase to 2,530,000 VND/month from July 1, 2026.

The remaining case will receive an allowance equal to 6.5 times the base salary (6.5 x 2,530,000 = 16,445,000 VND).
