Yes, she is qualified if below 60 (from next year) or below 55 (from this year). The age has been extended from 55 to 60 in Budget 2022 (website still says below age 55, not yet updated).

No check on household income, I opened my EPF i-saraan account when I was in high school. No income proof needed.

Sole prop registered under your individual name, do we need to re-register a new bank account specifically for this sole prop or can we just used any of our existing personal bank account?

Are you declaring tax in borang B?
Maybe can check borang B to see if you can deduct epf from there?

Yes I file form B. Section F15 says EPF allowed RM4000, so should be able to self contribute and claim there right?

On 17th Feb I did self-contribution to my EPF account. As of today, 1 March, it still isn't reflected. This is the first time that it doesn't show. What is the best way of getting this resolved? Through the banks or through EPF?

Need to wait after they announce the 2021 dividen.

Relax... u will see it once Dividend rate for 2021 announced

Thanks for everyone's reply! Really surprising that this occurs.

not new occurence, just that it is more apparent when they delayed the dividend announcement

more ppl talking & checking dividend, more ppl realized cannot see 2022 contributions (yet)

Is this still valid? To optimize, need to ensure the money appear on at the end of each preceding month. If appear on the 1st, will lose the whole month.

There is a cut off date in the mth, not sure when exactly that is.
Dont worry about that, when you have the available cash to dump into EPF, just do it. No point being calculative about a few dollars lost due to missing cut off dates...small potatoes.

agree

I found out that there is a way to find out. Don't need to wait till 6/3 as stated by EPF. But is for contribution amount only excluding the 2021 dividend just declared today.

After you log into your EPF account, go to the withdrawal menu and click the withdrawal eligibility menu, you should find your 2022 self-contributed amount is included in the amount you are eligible to withdraw.

Hope this helps.

Hi all. I contributed last year august. Until now i have not seen the government 17% contribution yet. How long exactly hv to wait?

You mean the i-saraan scheme that requires one to register 1st to join?

Self contribution made on 2nd March is not reflected at the latest statement (post dividend) yet. Not at the withdrawal eligibility too

Yes better deposit end of the month, unless you have no choice

i have rm60k planned for this come 7.3.22, lose interest 6.1% for 30days is RM300

if park that in KDI, send to EPF only on 29.3.22, can earn extra RM100+

RM100+ too small ??

100 bucks is big to some, and peanuts to others.
Just do whatever that rocks your boat, bro

It's normal, check your app on maximum withdrawal under "migrate", "retire" etc. It will be reflected.

Every year from 1st Jan onwards, you won't see the updates in the statement until dividend is updated, which was 12am this morning for this year.

Check now and you can. See everything now.
