The principle of budget balance is very relevant for the Russian Federation and is crucial in the system of public administration. But different courts’ approaches to the protection of the rights of citizens depending on their official position and social affiliation means a violation of the constitutional principle of equality of rights, infringe the rights of civil servants to state pension provision. The results of research may be used as the basis of correction of judicial practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and legislation concerning pension rights of public servants.Conclusions. Deprivation of rights to receive a pension when there is an absence of the region's necessary budget funds leads to unjustified differences in the implementation of this right in relation to civil servants in certain regions of the Russian Federation.
