◇Automatic Withdrawal for National Pension Contributions Payments You will receive a greater discount on your National Pension contributions if you pay in advance through the automatic bank account withdrawal system rather than paying in cash. If you make a one-year lump-sum payment in advance in cash, the discount is 3,520 yen. However, if you make an advance payment using the automatic bank account withdrawal system, the discount will be 4,150 yen (the amount in the fiscal year of 2023). A greater discount is also given when using the automatic withdrawal system for a 6-month lump-sum advance payment. In case of a 2-year lumpsum advance payment using this withdrawal system, the discount will be approximately 16,000 yen. *To make lump-sum advance payments through the automatic withdrawal system, you need to apply by February 29(Thu)； this does not include payments applicable to the latter half of this fiscal year (October ～ March). → Hoken-nenkin-ka Tel 775-5137/ Fax775-9827 Omiya Pension Office Tel 652-3399
