How much should I refund to my CPF account if I have a Court order extracted before 1 January 2013 directing a sale / transfer / disposal of my property?
If you have a Court Order extracted before 1 January 2013, the amount to be refunded depends on your age at the time of sale, transfer or disposal of your property.
 
If you are below 55:
You must refund the CPF principal amount withdrawn plus accrued interest when you sell, transfer, or dispose of your property.
 
If your selling price (including option monies) cannot fully cover both the outstanding housing loan and the required CPF refund, you do not need to top up the shortfall in cash, provided the property is sold at market value. However, any option monies received in cash from your buyer must be refunded to both you and your co-owner's CPF accounts before the transaction can be completed.
 
If you are 55 and above:
Please write to us directly to determine the specific amount you need to refund upon sale, transfer, or disposal of your property.
