Need for the Document

• If the Pensioner of the FNPF wants to withdraw early or partial withdrawal of their Fiji National Provident Fund owning to retirement assistance, then they must get the approval from the authorities in the FNPF by filing the application.

Information which might help

• Any Early Withdrawal reduces any future Early Withdrawal Entitlement and reduces your retirement funds upon reaching the qualifying age of 55 years or upon full withdrawal. Members who have accessed up to 30% of their Preserved Account for first housing transfer will need to replenish the same account.
• Any future contributions received in respect of the Member will be credited to the Member’s Preserved Account for 5 years or until the amount so credited equals the amount withdrawn from the Preserved Account (whichever comes first).

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
