Central Provident Fund Act 1953
Feedback & supportSetting up a provident fund board and a central provident fundIn plain English
Not legal adviceThis Act sets up a central provident fund and a board. Money a member holds in the fund, and withdrawals from it, generally cannot be transferred or seized to pay a debt. If a member goes bankrupt, money the member holds in the fund generally does not count as property of the member. Contributions are still paid from the wages of an employee who goes bankrupt. The Insurance Act does not apply to anything the board does under a part of this Act.
