What auto chanelling ? There is Acc 1 and Acc2 , no Acc i-saraan. If you apply i-saraan then and eligible , then if voluntary contribution reached the amt needed, so get loh.
Website also giving errors.
Yes, peace of mind. Thats what i did this year for my missus account.
Btw, do we need to apply i-saraan every year. For peace of mind, i apply every year.

I-saraan no need apply every year. I applied once in 2018 which is still valid until now.

What i know is, if contribute , dont do it on weekend, contribute on Monday morning and it will be faster. Weekend contribution will be slower than Monday morning. Its like pantang larang ... biggrin.gif

I might have missed the post about 14yo though I scrolled through most of the past pages.

Do teen account holders get yearly divi just as per usual?
I read on the KWSP website that there's an incentive of RM250 max a year given. But till when, I don't think I caught that part.
Anyone has experience doing this or have info to share?
Thanks all.

All account holders regardless of age would get the same yearly dividend rate.

The rm250 u read is probably i-saraan incentive years ago.

When you said net worth, does that include your properties or related as well? or strictly those more liquid funds, like stocks, bonds, FD etc..

EPF portal under maintenance.
Hopefully it is crediting of i-saraan dividend in process?
*
Based on previous years i-saraan incentive is credited doesn’t need any maintenance to do so. It would be credited once the gov reimburse epf on the incentive.

This year could be a bit different. Only Jan and Feb 2025 contributions are credited on 24 Oct 2025.

Contributions from Mar 2025 onwards yet to be credited and have to wait longer.

How come this year like this one??

Allocation $$$ not enough or what?? Too many people nowadays under i-saraan scheme....

Isaraan only costs RM115m yet the gov is holding back the money for most of us. Gov aid to xxx also exceed RM115m already.

Sure got reason why gomen withholding the payment......

Not solely on financial reasons... 🤔🧐

If gov wanna withhold, then no payment for everyone lah. Why only pay for Jan & Feb contributions?

Anyway i am not complaining coz i always contribute in Jan and got my full RM500.

The lesson is to contribute early next year either Jan or Feb.
