Online rumors suggest that Shanghai's housing pension fee standards have been determined, but relevant departments deny it

On August 25th, a rumor about the "fee standard for housing pension" caused a heated discussion on social media. Rumors have it that the charging standards for the pilot housing pension in Pudong, Shanghai have been revealed in advance, mainly based on the size and floor of the house, and the charging details for different houses have been clearly marked. Is this news true? The Shanghai Rumor Refutation Platform learned from the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban Rural Development and the Municipal Housing Management Bureau that the rumor is untrue. At the themed press conference on "Promoting High Quality Development" on August 23, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development stated that "personal accounts in the housing pension system have been established by paying special maintenance funds for residential properties. The focus of the pilot is for the government to establish public accounts." At the same time, in the interpretation of relevant policies, it is clear that the funds in public accounts come from public funds, and according to the principle of "not increasing personal burden and not reducing personal rights and interests," local governments will explore funding channels without increasing the burden on homeowners. Shanghai's debunking platform has found that the specific figures involved in the rumors have already appeared in the operating rules (trial) of the special maintenance fund management measures issued by other provinces and cities in 2011, and are not the charging rules for housing pensions. We hope that everyone will treat online rumors rationally and not believe or spread them.
