What changed

The amendment inserts new paragraph (2A) into regulation 35 of the Central Provident Fund (Investment Schemes) Regulations 2000. This provision specifies that amounts credited to a designated shareholder's ordinary account under paragraph (2) may now be withdrawn by the designated shareholder pursuant to regulation 14(1)(da) of the Central Provident Fund Regulations 1987.

Designated shareholders participating in CPF investment schemes should note this expanded withdrawal flexibility for their ordinary accounts. Financial institutions and CPF agents facilitating these investment schemes should update their operational procedures and member communications to reflect the new withdrawal pathway available under regulation 14(1)(da).

What to do next

  1. Review new regulation 35(2A) withdrawal provisions for designated shareholders
  2. Update internal procedures to accommodate CPF ordinary account withdrawals under regulation 14(1)(da) of CPF Regulations 1987
  3. Notify affected designated shareholders of expanded withdrawal flexibility
