To provide an illustrative example: 

The infographics is based on the following context. Mr Lim, 31 years old in 2025, has net monthly platform earnings of $2,000 each month from platform A. If he opts in to increase his CPF contributions, this is how PCTS can offset part of the increase in Ordinary and Special Account (OSA) contribution rates. Lets take the year 2025 as an example, Mr Lim will contribute $160 monthly to his MediSave Account. When he opts in, he will have additional Ordinary and Special  account CPF contributions. His share of Ordinary and Special account  contributions will increase by $50 each month. In the year 2025, PCTS will offset 100% of ordinary and special account increase.

If you have registered your contact details with CPF Board, you will receive a notification via SMS or email once the PCTS payment has been credited. You can update your contact details via account settings and also check your bank statement for the payment.

 

To receive your PCTS payments promptly, you can link your NRIC to PayNow with participating banks. See FAQ on PayNow NRIC-linked bank account.

 

Otherwise, your PCTS will be credited to the bank account registered to receive Government benefits. You may use the link below to provide or update your bank account details. If you do not have a registered or PayNow NRIC-linked bank account, you will receive PCTS via GovCash later in the 1st week of the following month, as opposed to using PayNow-NRIC or Bank Crediting.
