Active employees employed before June 30, 2004, as well as staff due for retirement by age between January 2027 and Dec. 31, 2029, have commenced a one-off online enrolment exercise, authorities have announced.
The exercise, which also covers employees retiring in December 2030 and beyond, requires affected staff to submit specified documents to the institution’s Pension Unit for processing.
According to the notice, the first batch of the enrolment—covering retirees for 2027, 2028 and 2029—has started and will end on March 31, 2026.
Staff members are required to submit the following documents:

Affected employees are also required to make two photocopies of all listed documents for submission.
The notice, however, expressed concern that many of the affected staff were yet to complete their data recapturing with their PFAs, while others had not submitted the required documents to the Pension Unit.
Officials urged all concerned employees to treat the exercise with urgency, noting that time was of the essence to ensure seamless processing of retirement benefits.
They advised eligible staff to comply within the stipulated deadline to avoid delays in their pension documentation and retirement processes.
