Salary Seizure is regulated in Article 83 of the EBL. Here, in order to send a salary lien to the workplace of the debtor, the follow-up must be finalized. After the proceeding is finalized, the creditor from the enforcement office decides to place a lien on the debtor’s salary. However, no more than ¼ of his salary can be deducted without his consent.
With Article 90 and its continuation of Law No. 5510, it has been regulated that retirement pensions can only be seized due to alimony and SGK premium debts, and cannot be blocked or seized due to other receivables. In this case, the lien cannot exceed ¼ of the pension.
In addition, the consent of the debtor is required to be able to place a lien on the pension. After the Supreme Court follow-up is finalized, the consent given during the foreclosure is accepted as a valid consent. On the other hand, it may be possible for the bank to deduct the entire salary deposited in the bank account due to salary lien. The person under the threat of foreclosure should also notify the bank that the account in the bank is a salary account.
