Contributing to a Retirement Savings Account
In accordance with the Pension Reforms Act (PRA) 2014, employers are required to make contributions to the Retirement Savings Account (RSA) of their employees. The minimum is 10% for the employer and 8% for the employee. Following the introduction of the new platform by the National Pension Commission in collaboration with the approved Payment Solution Service Providers (PSSPs), payments must be made through the Online Pension Contribution Remittance System (PCRS). These payments are exclusively made by employers and are credited to the RSAs of employees once processed through the Online PCRS.
