Housing Loan Instalment Withdrawal

To ease this burden, the EPF has introduced the Housing Loan Monthly Instalment Withdrawal.

- In the case of re-financing, the loan balance accounted for is based on the original housing loan payment from the first loan financier OR the latest loan balance, whichever is lower. If several financiers are involved, the loan redemption letter will be compared against the latest balance to determine the eligible withdrawal amount.

- For subsequent withdrawals, you can apply as early as 30-days before your final monthly instalment payment.
- You can apply for withdrawals within 30 days prior to the installment date. However, disbursement of withdrawal payments will commence only after the actual installment date.
- The withdrawal amount will be taken from Akaun Sejahtera and will be placed into a Special Account for your monthly loan instalment payment and its dividend will be credited into your Akaun Sejahtera after the yearly dividend declaration.
- Monthly instalment payments must be scheduled to end before the applicant reaches 55 years of age. Therefore, the maximum age to apply for this withdrawal is 54 years and 6 months.
- EPF reserves the right to cancel your monthly payment withdrawal if your loan has been fully settled, your house has been sold/auctioned/it’s ownership transferred to another party or if you have been found guilty of fraud by submitting false documents/information.
