QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jan 4 2020, 12:26 PM) Theoretically, short answer, yes. Long answer, provided you meet all the requirements/eligibility/etc. You can withdraw 50k from account 2, there is a formula to calculate maximum withdrawal. But when you put back 50k, as self-contribution, it will split 70/30 into account 1 and 2. At the end of day/year/55/life, the annual dividend % calculation is still the same whether is account 1 or 2. But it will affect future account 2 withdrawal.  Oh thanks for the clarification and answer that's what I'm looking for haha , 70/30 means If I take 100k fr acc2 put back future only left back 30k in acc2 right

QUOTE(heng84 @ Jan 4 2020, 12:42 PM) Ya but can withdraw under other purpose , but end up is my life savings that why I want to put back , and for high interest dividend will the withdrawal under other purpose is faster between selling your car and the withdrawal process as the timing of your plan to renovate is a priority.? if withdrawal is faster, then it is as per forummer Cute_boboi's post....above

One more point is EPF withdrawal is changing every now and then. Previously for first-time withdrawal for house purchase, EPF bank direct into my own savings account, not the loan account. Subsequent withdrawal is direct into loan account. FYI, this is many years ago. Nowadays, I think EPF will direct into loan account. I'm not sure. Also depends if current bank loan will lock-in or direct-reduce the loan principal balance or not. If like this, then you cannot withdraw also. Also depends if your bank loan is full/semi flexi or just regular loan that cannot withdraw. You have to check with your bank loan and EPF.

QUOTE(romuluz777 @ Jan 3 2020, 11:38 AM) I'm thinking of crediting 50K lump sum this month (January) into the EPF, but am worried it cannot be seen until next month. Worried about such a sum in limbo. If any lab rat here can try it out, and it reflects on the i-akaun, please share the outcome here  If your total already reached 1mil, then taking out the 50k wouldnt be restricted on the purpose of the money. If for house reno, i dont think can unless but if its for the first house, first time , they will bank in to your account. But later stages, whatever withdraw will to the loan account and you can not take it out even its a flexi loan account. I suggest just go get some credit card cash out, i think HL giving like 3% plus pa. Still cheaper on this rather you take out the 50k from EPF as that 50k is giving you say 5-6%pa. For short term roll ...

Confirm that self contribution made on 1 Jan is not reflected in the online account.
Disappointed with EPF systems. Now is year 2020 and you cannot reflect members deposits until declared dividends? I am not even asking for real time, at least you should be able to do so after 2 or 3 days. Else how do we know our deposits are intact and not lost in transition?

It's an indirect way of checking your up to date current balance if I am not wrong.

If you make this transaction during 1-Jan 2020, you won’t see it until after the 2019 dividend declaration.

Just for u guys info, the response from EPF.
Enquiry If I were to make a self contribution in January 2020, will I be able to see the amount credited in my i akaun statement or do I have to wait until after the 2019 dividend is declared and the latest statement for 2020 updated ?

You know your balance as at 31 Dec and the increment is your deposit. That is why its only an indirect method to check. Not directly show the amount and actual transanction

As long as the money doesn't get suspended in limbo its fine. Benefit of putting in $60K in January is that you get the dividend for the month.
