The President of the Russian Federation has signed a Decree that increases the age limit for deferring IT-specialists from conscription from 27 to 30 years.

To obtain a deferment, it is necessary to send the relevant list of citizens to the Ministry for Digital Technology, Communication and Mass Media. The deadline for sending information is not later than 50 calendar days before the start of the next drafting. The information indicates:

For non-fulfillment by the employer of the requirement to provide information about the employed or dismissed specialist to the military commissariat, administrative liability is provided under article 21.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation in the form of a fine in the amount of 1,000 - 5,000 rubles.
