6,000 Dinars: 361,000 Applications by Noon on Day One
The Finance Ministry released day one numbers for Serbia's one-time 6,000 dinar payment: 361,000 applications and 602,000 eligibility checks by noon on the Treasury Administration's portal.
Serbia’s Finance Ministry released the first numbers from day one of applications for the 6,000 dinar one-time payment, publishing them through Tanjug. By 10 a.m., about 222,000 people had applied. By noon, that number had climbed to roughly 361,000. Applications opened at exactly midnight between Sunday and Monday, September 7.
Eligibility checks are running alongside the applications. By 10 a.m., about 346,000 people had checked whether they qualify for the payment or for a payout from the Akcionarski fond, Serbia’s shareholder fund. By noon, the number of checks had reached 602,000, nearly double the number of applications at that point.
“From midnight to noon, about 361,000 citizens applied for the 6,000 dinar cash payment,” the Finance Ministry of the Republic of Serbia said in a statement carried by Tanjug.
Who Has to Apply, and Who Doesn’t?
Applications are handled entirely online, through the Treasury Administration’s portal at idp.trezor.gov.rs, and the window stays open until September 21. The form asks for only two pieces of information: a citizen’s unique ID number (JMBG) and their identity card number.
The application is meant for adult Serbian citizens who live in the country, hold a valid ID card, and do not already have recipient status under the Law on the Right to Free Shares. Adulthood is calculated as of September 1, 2026 at the latest. Citizens who already hold recipient status through the Akcionarski fond do not need to apply at all. Their money will be paid out on September 22 on that separate basis.
For everyone applying through the portal, the Finance Ministry says payment follows between September 23 and September 25, though part of the reporting on this same story also mentions September 22 as the day payment begins for this group of citizens too. Once eligibility is confirmed, the Treasury Administration forwards the data to Postanska stedionica bank, which carries out the actual payout.
People who apply through the portal have one year to collect the money. There is no such deadline for those receiving it through the Akcionarski fond.
The Story We’ve Been Following Since the Portal Opened
We covered the application process itself, and the fields on the form, when the portal first opened, in “Application for 6,000 Dinars Begins: Two Fields and a Zero Trap.” What was still unknown then, how citizens would respond in the first hours, now has a number: 361,000 applications and 602,000 eligibility checks in twelve hours of the portal being open.
This payment isn’t the only one announced for the month. Eight days later, on September 14, payments begin for pensioners, ranging from 20,000 to 35,000 dinars, so the state treasury will be servicing two separate groups of recipients under two different programs in the same month.
