Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revised its rules on the reporting of gratuities, raising several reporting thresholds and tightening procedural timelines, as part of changes formalized under Commission Regulation No. 1 of 2026.

The regulation, which amends Commission Regulation No. 2 of 2019 on gratuity reporting, took effect on Jan. 20 and introduces five key changes, the KPK said in a statement posted on its official Instagram account.

One of the most notable revisions concerns the value limits for gifts that are considered reasonable and therefore not subject to mandatory reporting. The updated thresholds apply to three categories.

For wedding gifts or those given during customary or religious ceremonies, the non-reportable limit has been raised to Rp 1.5 million ($90) per giver, from the previous Rp 1 million. Gifts exchanged among colleagues in non-cash form now carry a higher threshold of Rp 500,000 per giver, with an annual cap of Rp 1.5 million, up from Rp 200,000 per giver and Rp 1 million per year. Meanwhile, the provision governing gifts among colleagues for occasions such as farewells, retirements, or birthdays — previously capped at Rp 300,000 per giver — has been removed entirely from the revised regulation.

The second change clarifies the treatment of gratuity reports submitted more than 30 working days after a gift is received. Under the new rule, gratuities reported after the deadline may be designated as state property. However, the KPK stressed that the provision does not override Article 12B of Law No. 31 of 1999, as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes.

Under that law, individuals who give or promise something to a public official with the intent of influencing actions contrary to official duties face prison sentences of between one and five years and fines ranging from Rp 50 million to Rp 250 million. Public officials who receive such gifts or promises are subject to the same penalties.

A third revision changes the authority responsible for signing gratuity-related decrees. Previously determined by the monetary value of the reported gratuity, the signing authority will now be based on the “prominence” of the case, with approval aligned to the reporting official’s level of position.

The fourth change shortens the timeframe for completing incomplete gratuity reports. Under the previous regulation, reports that remained incomplete for more than 30 working days from the date of receipt were not followed up. The revised rule reduces that window to 20 working days from the date the report is filed.

The fifth and final set of changes expands and clarifies the duties of gratuity control units within government institutions. The regulation assigns seven responsibilities, including receiving and processing gratuity reports, safeguarding deposited items until their status is determined, following up reports in line with KPK decisions, conducting gratuity control activities, encouraging the adoption of internal rules, providing training and implementation support, and socializing gratuity control provisions.

The KPK said the revisions are intended to strengthen oversight, improve compliance, and ensure greater consistency in the handling of gratuity reports across public institutions.
