The change will be implemented in the new Iranian year staring March 21 and will appear in the budget draft that President Hassan Rohani’s government plans to submit by Dec. 21, said Ali Mohammad Ahmadi, a member of the assembly’s planning and budgetary committee, according to the Tehran-based newspaper.
