Hi,

At age 55, your Retirement Account (RA) will be created for you. Savings from your Special Account (SA), followed by your Ordinary Account (OA), up to your applicable Full Retirement Sum (FRS) will be transferred to your RA.
If you own a property with remaining lease that can last you to at least age 95, you may withdraw your RA savings (excluding interest earned, any government grants received and top-ups made under the Retirement Sum Topping-up scheme) above your Basic Retirement Sum (BRS).

You can withdraw your RA savings above the BRS fully if the expected CPF housing refund is able to restore your RA to your FRS when your sell/transfer the property in future.
Thank you.

Once you have met the FRS, you will only be allowed to draw anything above FRS.

BRS are only allowed for people who do not meet the FRS.
