Thats good news.
For Acc 2 withdrawal,
Option 1, withdrawal for 10% of house price, you may take all in Acc 2, they dont care. But must apply not more than 3 years from SPA stamping date
Option 2, withdrawal for house loan offset. 1 time only.
Option 3, withdrawal for house loan repayment, EPF will disburse by monthly either directly to your loan acc or any saving acc as per your instruction. This only can be done after VP and may apply multiple time if your Acc 2 having enough money.
Actually,
1st time withdrawal - you draw cash to your bank account and can use as you like for any house.
2nd time withdrawal onwards, it is directly to appointed home loan you want to reduce. Get your document balance from the bank. OCBC charges RM50 for Loan Statement for EPF withdrawal. You can withdraw only once a year to reduce balance of the house.
You can withdraw only for your first house and on completion of payment you can withdraw for your second house.
You cannot withdraw for your 3rd house and following houses.
You have option to withdraw on a monthly basis (automatically paid to the bank) to pay for your monthly instalments.
Process is simple now. There is NO form to fill in any more as compared to previously.
1. Just bring the Loan Statement for EPF, a copy of your latest EPF statement (print out at EPF) and a copy of your IC.
2. Go to EPF office.
3. Take a number from the counter.
4. Have your documents verified by the officer at the next counter.
5. Wait for you turn to submit your documents.
6. Provide your thumbprint.
7. Wait 7 days and money will be either in your bank/loan account.
