Do you mean the PPA Annual Fee RM 8?
My understanding is the RM 8 was waived during the first year you invest PRS (opened a PPA account).
And you won't be charged RM 8 if you do not contribute a single cent to your existing PRS funds of different Providers.
Scenario 1: You're buying a new fund every year. You're not opening new account (Only one PPA account per person based on IC).
So, Buying a new fund after the first year, will still charge RM 8, right?
Scenario 2: You're buying and topup-ing 3 different funds from 2 different Providers.
You will be charged RM 8 x 2 = RM 16, right?
Scenario 3: You're buying and topup-ing 3 different funds from 3 different Providers.
You will be charged RM 8 x 3 = RM 24, right?
So, we should concentrate on one PRS provider per calendar year to avoid multiple PPA annual fee, regardless it is a topup or new fund.
Anyone can clarify this?
PS: FPX Fee RM 0.50 will be charged for each transaction via PRS Online. If you topup RM 100 for 30 times separately, you would have been charged RM 15 (0.5 x 30). So, better lump sum top-up RM 3000.50 in single transaction (RM 3000 will go to your fund and RM 0.50 is the FPX fee).
Bingo, all scenarios correct. So i didn't top up through PPA, n buy from FSM only, i prefer 0% charge
