T-Day

• any new contributions made to a provident fund will be subject to the same annuitisation rules as pension funds:

• At least two-thirds of the savings must be used to purchase a pension at retirement.

• Any provident fund savings made before T-day, and any investment growth on those savings, will not be subject to the new pension purchase requirement (i.e. up to 100% lump sum withdrawal benefit)

P-Day

• Tighter controls on preserving retirement savings,

– Retirement funds must have default preservation funds for exiting members

– Must guide members of converting savings into a regular income after retirement

– allow access savings before retirement during periods of unemployment

P-Day

• Currently limited to one withdrawal from a preservation fund before retirement, but the withdrawal may be 100 percent of your savings.

• New proposal: allow for an income stream in periods of unemployment, allowing for one withdrawal a year.

• Annual withdrawal formula: the greater of the state old age grant (R1 260 from April 1) or 10 percent of initial preservation fund deposit, excluding any portion to which vested rights apply. Any unused withdrawal amounts may be carried forward to future years.
