Why is everyone so hard up about the epf dividend. They will announce it in due course. It won't matter as your money cannot be taken out.

Able to take out , if , amount is > RM 1 million.

Not too sure whether i posted it before.

I am treating Epf as my my kitty bank ( retired) . So the most important aspect of it is that i must be able to withdraw whenever i need to painlessly. Its only this year that i realised  bangwall.gif  that Epf  have an online withdrawal facility, so for those interested here is my experience.

Searching online and reading faq from epf regarding it even make me a bit unsure of the process. Whats mentioned is that if you did a physical withdrawal before then the next withdrwal done online is without hassle. However official sources says that you need the following steps to enable future hassle free online withdrawal.

1. Register for tac at epf booth.
2. Do a withdrawal online.
3. Wait for an email asking to be present at the couner for manual scanning of ic, fingerprints n bank account number.
4. Wait for approval n wait for money to be sent to bank.

The next online withdrawal will be seamless then.

However i am a stubborn person n always want to challenge things  biggrin.gif .

1. I went to epf to register tac. If i did an online withdrawal then , i would have to wait dunno how long, maybe have to come back the next day to complete the first stage process. Not wishing to do that, i have other things to do that day also, i did the following step.
2. I immediately went to the counter n did a manual withdrawal of RM50.00. Upon geing queried by the counter on the reason so, i told her that its to facilitate future online withdrawal, it nearly went into a long argument. I think i handled it well , so the process went on smoothly.
3. The withdrawal was deposited in my bank the next day after 5pm.
4. I then did an online withdrawal and seamlessly the money was received by my bank the next day n time as well.

So hoping my experience will help all retirees too .

Impressive and thank you for the info. What was the reason for the long argument with the counter officer? Is it because of the RM50 amount? How did you rectify or manage to reason with them?

If , say , birth date is 15/1/1952 , and last age of self contribution is in year 2027, when would one need to contribute the last time? Before 15/1/27 or any time in that year between 1/1/27 to 31/12/27 ?
