For members aged 60 years old and above, the statutory contribution rate for employees remains unchanged. The new rates will be in effect for an entire year, affecting wages for the months of Jan 2021 (Feb 2021’s contribution) up to Dec 2021 (Jan 2022’s contribution).

EPF further announced that;

The completed form must then be submitted for online registration via i-Akaun (Employer) to by their respective employers, starting from 14th December. Employers are also expected to keep the form acquired for their own personal record.

Due to the on-going pandemic that seems to be seeing no end, employees will only be able to obtain the form online via their respective i-Akaun. This is due to EPF’s efforts to ensure physical distance and minimise face-to-face interactions to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
