The National Pension Commission has commenced approval for workers to use 25 per cent of their Retirement Savings Accounts as mortgage.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement released on Friday titled\u00a0\u2018PenCom approves guidelines on accessing Retirement Savings Account balance for payment of equity contribution for residential mortgage by RSA holders\u2019.<\/p>\n

The statement said, \u201cPenCom is pleased to inform all stakeholders<\/a> and the general public, particularly RSA holders, that the commission has approved the issuance and immediate implementation of the guidelines on accessing RSA balance towards payment of equity contribution for residential mortgage by RSA holders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe approval is in line with Section 89 (2) of the Pension Reform Act 2014, which allows RSA holders to use a portion of their RSA balance towards payment of equity for residential mortgage.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the PenCom, the guidelines cover pension contributors<\/a> in active employment, either as a salaried employee or as a self-employed person.<\/p>\n

It added that the maximum amount to be withdrawn is 25 per cent of the total mandatory RSA balance as of the date of application, irrespective of the value of equity contribution required by the mortgage lender.<\/p>\n

Where 25 per cent of a contributor\u2019s RSA balance is not sufficient for payment as equity contribution, it added, RSA holders may utilise the contingency portion of their voluntary contributions (if any).<\/p>\n

To qualify as a mortgage lender for the purpose, it stated, the company must be licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, comply with the Contributory Pension Scheme and have valid Pension Clearance Certificate.<\/p>\n

Eligibility, it added, are that a worker must \u201cHave an offer letter for the property duly signed by the property owner and verified by the mortgage lender.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe RSA of the applicant shall have both employer and employee\u2019s mandatory contributions for a cumulative minimum period of 60 months (five years).<\/p>\n

\u201cA contributor under the Micro Pension Plan is also eligible, provided he\/she has made contributions for at least 60 months (five years) prior to the date of his\/her application.<\/p>\n

\u201cRSA Holders that have less than three years to retirement are not eligible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarried couples, who are RSA holders, are eligible to make a joint application, subject to individually satisfying the eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cRSA holders, if registered before 1 July 2019, must have their records updated through the RSA data recapture exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cApplication for equity contribution for residential mortgage shall be in person and not by proxy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
