Family Takaful Contribution Statement Notice

Differing Amount Allocated for Investment-Linked Certificates in 2020 Family Takaful Contribution Statement (FTCS)

You may have noticed some differences in the amount allocated in the Family Takaful (Life), Medical or Education categories in your 2020 FTCS compared to the previous years’ statements. Please allow us to explain the difference for your better understanding.

For your information, the difference in the amount displayed in the latest statement is due to a recent change in our investment-linked product portfolio management, from Contribution Paying Rider (CPR) structure to Unit Deducting Rider (UDR) structure.

This newly introduced investment-linked plan structure is an approach where the certificates are managed holistically as opposed to breaking down the contribution to individual benefits in a CPR product structure.  This UDR structure allows for better flexibility in managing the affordability and sustainability of your certificates.

You can rest assured that this change will not have any retrospective or future impact to your coverage, benefits or total contribution amount.

By adopting this new structure, the allocation for the contribution of each rider under the tax categories mentioned above (i.e. Family Takaful (Life), Medical or Education) shall be proportionate with the tabarru` deduction for each rider under the certificate. The total contribution amount eligible for tax relief by using either CPR or UDR structure is the same and remains unchanged.  Please take note that the allocated ratio may change for each year moving forward, as the tabarru` deduction amount may vary as the person covered grows older.

Should you need any further clarification on this matter please speak to your Agent or alternatively contact our Customer Service Centre at +603 2775 7188 or e-mail us at customer@prubsn.com.my.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the amount displayed in 2020 FTCS different from 2019 FTCS for my certificate?

The difference in the displayed amount is due to the recent change made by PruBSN in managing the investment-linked product portfolio from Contribution Paying Rider (CPR) concept to Unit Deducting Rider (UDR) concept.

What do you mean by CPR and UDR concepts?

CPR concept is associating the individual rider contribution rate with each rider under the certificate based on the risk factors applicable. The total contribution payable under the certificate is derived by adding up all the contributions of the riders and the relevant charges under the certificate.

Meanwhile, UDR concept is calculating the total contribution payable under the certificate based on the total tabarru` deduction required for the certificate.

Will my benefits and contribution rate be affected by this change in any way?

No, there is no impact to your benefits and total contribution amount payable under the certificate.

Since there is no longer individual rider contribution, how do I allocate the contribution paid into respective LHDN tax categories in the 2020 FTCS?

The total contribution amount eligible for tax relief by using CPR or UDR concept remain unchanged. The apportionment for the contribution of each rider under the tax categories shall be proportionate with the tabarru’ deduction for each rider under the certificate.
