Guangzhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued a notice optimizing withdrawal rules. Account holders may withdraw balances to pay property management fees for owner-occupied housing within Guangzhou; the annual cap is calculated as housing area × 3 yuan/sq m × 12. Each account holder may apply for a property-fee withdrawal once per calendar year; unused entitlement does not roll over. Account holders who have already made other withdrawals may, if eligible, apply for property-fee withdrawal concurrently. Withdrawals from the provident fund for rent have been adjusted to a monthly frequency.
