no, the limit is the loan amount.
so you can do a $1m refund if you have a $1m cpf loan
What is consequences or not paying this "loan"?
I see it as a way to detain funds from sales of HDB back in CPF.
Suppose one already has $600K in CPF then sell property and get $500k if loan is $200K ...200K returns to CPF as if person never take out CPF.
By right person with $600K already meet the min sum etc.
All these rules just end up locking up more and more into CPF. All these resources locked is not the best way to manage people's resource.
If person has more than X$ in CPF let's fix X$ at 750k...he should be exempt from all rules to keep adding to CPF...once he agrees to put it in the special account.
It's not a good thing to lock up so much funds and create an economy of super high savers ....look at Japan the whole economy declined as the nation became a nation of savers

don't confuse the refund with selling of properties.
cpf refund refers to putting a big amount of cash into the cpf account, to offset the cpf housing loan. Don't have to sell the house when doing this.
it is good for those near retiring age, having a pile of cash but don't know where to invest to get 2.5% interest.

Instead of paying accured interest with 2.5% from "own pocket", good to consider doing the CPF housing refund to OA if have surplus idling cash as to let CPF pay you the 2.5% instead

Try to grow your CPF and hit min sum by age 55 so that can withdraw the excess and wisely use between age 55 to age 65 for the 10 years period

Investing in stocks and shares is not a sure win situation, cos 95% of those who invest in stocks and shares tend to lose money, only 5% of investors can make money....

accured interest is not a problem at all because it is still your money. you paid to yourself.
if you are about 50 year old, and you have spare cash, it is good to do the refund.
yalor.. now FD only 0.5% or so? got spare cash refund cpf better.
