How does topping up CPF to retirement account work?

What is the minimum sum (if any) before cash payout via CPF takes place and what are the pros and cons of the CPF retirement account as compared to other financial products for retirement?

I understand the interest rate is good for CPF retirement account but I'm not sure if I should do a top up into my parents' retirement account.

topping up Your parent’s CPF Acc is a good choice as it helps reduce your Tax

SRS is an option to also consider because it can help reduce your overall Tax the money placed into SRS can then be used to buy insurance or placed into investment like stocks/units trusts etc
