Before You Begin

• If you have a GIRO arrangement in place, do not enter a payment amount in the GIRO field during file generation — doing so will result in a double deduction.
• Have your CPF portal login credentials ready for the final upload step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I enter a GIRO amount when a GIRO arrangement is already set up?

Entering an amount in the GIRO field when a GIRO arrangement is active will cause the CPF contribution to be deducted twice — once via GIRO and once via the manual entry. Always leave this field blank if GIRO is in use.

Can I generate CPF files for a past month?

Yes. In Step 3, simply select the relevant past month from the month selector instead of using the default current month.

What file format is generated?

The system generates a CPF-compatible file that can be uploaded directly to the CPF portal without any additional formatting.
