1. Re-purchase (sell) of EPF funds
can be done via PMO (Public Mutual Online).
(Only purchases under the EPF withdrawal scheme cannot be done online, as there is paperwork and your thumbprint is required for submission to EPF, before EPF can release any money.)
2. AFAIK, the cut-off time is the same over the counter at the branch office at 4pm. Walk-in customers usually don't have to queue and will be attended first... but you must allow some time to request the right form and filling it.
If I remembered correctly, the counter clerk will key-in the details on the spot and then time stamped the forms, before returning to you, your copy.
If you really need to do it personally at the branch office, it would be wise to call them first... who knows, maybe there is a recent change in the cut-off time that we are not aware of.
Cheer.
PS. Yeah, have noticed that the Public Mutual website and server is erratic over the past week... seems to be down several times during the critical hours from noon till 4pm. Yesterday (Monday) is the worse... only able to connect now after 2am - don't know whether to be annoyed or salute the IT guy who managed to get it up and running at this graveyard shift hours.
TQ for your info J. Passing. Appreciate it.
Note - sorry for late reply. On the move.
Have a good day.
