Housing Loan Instalment Withdrawal
Paying the monthly instalments for a housing loan is no easy feat, especially for those of us with growing commitments. In an effort to ease the burden of homeowners, the EPF has introduced the Housing Loan Monthly Instalment Withdrawal. This allows you to make a withdrawal from your Akaun Sejahtera to cover your monthly housing loan instalments for a minimum period of six months or until your financial recovery, providing support when you find yourself in a tight spot financially.
