OREANDA-NEWS  First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Tatiana Butskaya in conversation with Ura.ru she named the dates when the maternity capital could approach a million rubles. According to her, this could happen by 2026.

"I think that by 2026 the amount of maternity capital may approach a million. In 2025, 864.1 thousand rubles will be allocated for the second child," she said.

The deputy explained that at present it is impossible to predict the exact figures, since much depends on the level of inflation. She added that currently maternity capital is indexed based on actual inflation and did not rule out that in the future these conditions may change.

Earlier it became known that in 2024 maternity capital in Russia will be indexed to the inflation rate, by 5.3 percent. Thus, the payment for the birth of the first child will be increased to 618.1 thousand rubles, for the second — to 816.7 thousand rubles.
