More Than Just Regional Transfers, TKD Supports Salaries of 4.3 Million Civil Servants and Public Services

It also added Rp 18.9 trillion for non-disaster needs.

With these additions, the total TKD allocation for 2026 now stands at Rp 715.34 trillion.

"Some local governments reported several challenges that needed addressing, so Rp 18.9 trillion was added for non-disaster needs, formally stipulated in Minister of Finance Decree No. 198 of 2026. Therefore, the current TKD allocation is Rp 715.34 trillion," Suahasil explained.

Using this updated ceiling, the Rp 504.3 trillion disbursed by August 2026 represents about 70.5 percent of the total Rp 715.34 trillion allocation.

The government has also changed the distribution mechanism for teacher allowances.

Allowances that were previously distributed quarterly are now provided monthly.

This change also encourages TKD disbursement because the funds for teacher allowances can now be distributed more regularly.

Suahasil said the government will continue to ensure timely TKD disbursements so local governments can carry out various activities and public services for their communities.
