Is the Provident Fund well safeguarded?

A registered Provident Fund is a legal entity that is separate from the employer and the Asset Management Company that manages the fund. The Asset Management Company operates under strict supervision by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Provident Fund is independent and not liable to service debt or liabilities incurred by the employer or Asset Management Company. As such, a Provident Fund can be regarded as a sum of money which members can be assured to be securely-guarded over the long term.

While segregated from debt or liabilities of the employer, the Provident Fund prohibits the employer from gaining access to the portion of funds belonging to an employee such as from any attempts to settle outstanding sums. The Provident Fund Act affords a high degree of protection to a members money, strictly requiring that payments can only be made payable in the members own name. Payment cannot be diverted to a different beneficiary such as for offsetting debts owed to a creditor or to another individual.
