"Sahatransneftegaz" alerts its corporate clients: legal entities must take notice!
A legal entity (organization or individual entrepreneur) in Russia can pay for natural gas consumed remotely via the Sberbank Online application by using its usual payment features for utility services. This generally involves:
- Logging into the Sberbank Online app.
- Selecting the utility payments section.
- Choosing natural gas as the service to pay.
- Entering the necessary customer or account number as indicated on the gas bill or contract.
- Entering the amount owed according to meter readings.
- Confirming the payment which is then transferred electronically to the gas supplier.
This is a common remote payment method widely used in Russia for utilities, including natural gas.
Regarding the recommended payment schedule, Russian Government Decree No. 294 of 04.04.2000 establishes that:
- Consumers of natural gas, including legal entities, should pay the natural gas bills monthly.
- If the consumption is metered remotely, the payment should correspond with the monthly meter readings submitted to the gas supplier.
- The payment is typically expected no later than 10 working days after the receipt of the gas consumption bill calculated from meter readings.
- In the absence of timely payment, penalties or suspension of supply may legally follow.
Hence, the legal framework encourages monthly remote payments aligned with meter reading cycles, ensuring timely settlement of natural gas consumption charges.
For AO "Sakhatransneftegaz", the payment schedule includes three stages: initial, intermediate, and final payments. The initial payment (35%) is due by the 18th of the month, while the intermediate payment (50%) is due by the end of the month.

For housing cooperatives and TSCs, the final payment is due by the 15th of the following month.
