Only RSA Holders Who Have Completed Data Recapture Exercise Can Withdraw From Their Retirement Savings Account, These are the Documents Required.

National Pension Commission (PenCom) has directed Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) to carry out a Data Recapture Exercise to update and regularise the records of Retirement Savings Account holders.

The purpose of this is to ensure that the records of all Retirement Savings Account holders with Pension Fund Administrators are complete and accurate.

The update will guarantee the integrity of RSA holders records with PFAs and its a major requirement towards the introduction of the transfer window, which will enable contributors change from their primary PFAs, in line with Section 13 of the Pension Reform Act (PRA) 2014.

Its advisable that you contact your PFA to update your records, and if you are planning to withdraw from your Retirement Savings Account soon, you should contact your PFA to update your records IMMEDIATELY because we have received reports that its mandatory for you to update your records before you can withdraw from your Retirement Savings Account.
