Question:
I am currently with the GEPF. It is my intention to resign from the teaching profession at the end of this year. Will it be possible for me to transfer my retirement fund to a provident preservation fund even though the funding is coming out of a pension fund?
Answer:
Vasintha,
No, you cannot transfer your pension fund proceeds to a provident preservation fund, unless you are willing to pay withdrawal lump sum tax on the transfer.
