The EPF i-Citra is one of several programmes that were introduced under the Pakej Perlindungan Rakyat dan Pemulihan Ekonomi (PEMULIH) which also includes the extension of the free 1GB daily data and discounts on TNB’s electricity bill. Aside from that, there is also the Bantuan Kehilangan Pendapatan (BKP) and Bantuan Khas COVID-19 (BKC) which we have discussed before right here.
Through i-Citra, EPF members are allowed to withdraw up to RM 1,000 per month for the next 5 months. Here are some examples as shown on EPF’s website:
To be eligible, members must be less than 55 years old and has at least RM 150 in their EPF account. EPF also pointed out that i-Citra payments will be taken from the member’s Account 2 first and will only dip into Account 1 if needed, as shown in these examples:
