Daily Trust had reported that in September, PenCom issued guidelines to allow contributors of CPS to access part of their RSAs for payment of equity contributions for residential mortgage.

It specified that the maximum amount to be withdrawn is 25 per cent of the total mandatory RSA balance as of the date of application, irrespective of the value of equity contribution required by the mortgage lender.
