Anonymous says: 13 January 2016 at 18:43 Hi, I am changing jobs, and I have the option of withdrawing some or all of my current balance in my provident fund. Please advise on the rules surrounding withdrawals. Is there any limit to how many times one may withdraw in lifetime? I will leave my current job at the end of Jan, so it still falls under the current system. Will any of the changes to RA that come into effect on 1 Mar 16 affect these withdrawal rules. |

Anonymous says: 14 January 2016 at 8:48 Old mutual superfund. |
TaxTim says: 14 January 2016 at 17:17 For provident funds you can withdraw all the contributions paid at one go without limitations. |
