if u transfer $100k and earn $10k interest.
even if u have reach frs at 55 yrs old and left $120k in sa.
u can only withdraw $10k.
the only way u can withdraw the remaining $110k is when u die, your children can take.

What are the retirement sums - Basic Retirement Sum (BRS), Full Retirement Sum (FRS) and Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS)?
Planning for your retirement is easier with the retirement sums – Basic Retirement Sum (BRS), Full Retirement Sum (FRS), and Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS). They provide a guide on the CPF savings you need to reach your desired monthly payouts in retirement.
https://www.cpf.gov.sg/content/dam/web/m...amples.pdf
The BRS is meant to provide you with monthly payouts in retirement to cover basic living needs, excluding rental expenses.
The FRS is two times of BRS and can provide you with higher monthly payouts that also cover rental expenses. That is why when you turn 55, your CPF savings up to your FRS is set aside in your Retirement Account (RA) to provide you with monthly payouts in retirement.
If you own a property in Singapore with remaining lease that lasts you until you are 95 or older, you have the flexibility to meet your FRS with a mixture of property (up to half your FRS) and cash, and can apply to withdraw part of your RA savings down to your BRS using your property.
https://www.cpf.gov.sg/member/faq/retire...y-property
If you wish to receive even higher payouts for your desired retirement lifestyle, you can choose to set aside more by making a top-up, up to the current ERS. The ERS is increased yearly for those who wish to receive higher payouts.

See what are the retirement sums applicable to you.
https://www.cpf.gov.sg/member/faq/retire...able-to-me-
Ultimately, how much you set aside depends on your CPF balances and desired monthly payouts. It’s important to plan ahead by assessing how much payouts you need to meet your expenses in retirement. Find out using the CPF LIFE Estimator.

it cannot be withdrawn in a lump sum, its a fact on cpf website.
it can only be withdrawn as a monthly payout under frs.
people think they can withdraw the overflow in oa as their sa is full but later discover they have to less off the transfer amount from oa to sa.

When you reach 65 you start get monthly payout from your RA until death.
You can make use of the scheme but cannot depend on it for retirement as it is not inflation adjusted.
that's why i plan to dump all in SA lor...........hope to compound at 4.5%..............maybe at 65yo, no need to collect cardboard lor............

found it!
Can I withdraw the top-up monies if I have the Full Retirement Sum, or the Basic Retirement Sum if I own a property?
No. Higher interest rates and tax incentives are given to encourage members to top up beyond their Basic Retirement Sum. Allowing withdrawals after allowing members to enjoy these incentives would defeat the purpose of offering them.

What happens to my unused CPF transfers and cash top-ups to my recipient upon my demise or if I withdraw my CPF savings on grounds of leaving Singapore or West Malaysia permanently?
Cash top-ups and CPF transfers will generally be treated as gifts to recipients. When the recipient passes away or applies for withdrawal on grounds of leaving Singapore or West Malaysia permanently, any unused cash top-ups or CPF transfers will be paid to his beneficiaries (for deceased members) or the recipient (upon successful withdrawal). This is subject to safeguards to prevent premature withdrawals.
only uplorry then can take out by children

initially i though of transferring from oa to sa until frs so shiok got more interest leh then my sa full can earn higher interest first.
then my salary oa i can take out all when 55.
then google and luckily didn't transfer.
if u transfer $100k and when u retire even when u have frs and have $120k in your oa, u can only take out $20k.
the $100k is stuck in ur oa forever until u uplorry ur children makan.

a lot of people don't know this because this is the same tactic used by cpf and hdb.
lky say hdb will rise forever, he never tell u its worthless when the 99 yr lease ends.
cpf also the same no problem after frs everything can withdraw, then sneak a footnote when u have to dig faq then can find the answer.
if hdb & cpf put big big on their website:
hdb worthless when lease end
top up uplorry then can withdraw
who will buy hdb?
who will top up cpf?
my father is pioneer generation, the scheme is better, u can top up and it increase the monthly payout, so not stuck.
but after pioneer u top up is stuck.

but if u have children topping up will leave more money for them when u uplorry.
but now more people withdraw from cpf to put fd as interest higher so less people top up.
cash is more flexible than cpf so unless cpf up rates, withdrawal will make cpf bankrupt.

frs rises every year due to inflation but it will be fixed when you hit 55.
cpf top-up is to help members hit frs and not use it as a fd account.
so if u project when u turn 55 your oa+sa cannot hit frs, u can top up the amount which will help u hit frs on 55.
u shouldn't max out ur sa to frs now because when u work u will have more oa from sa overflow which u cannot take out in a lump sum when u turn 55.
