The capital gain implies the margin between the accumulated assets withdrawn in one-off payment and scheduled payment and the paid pension contributions. Capital gain tax rate is 10%.

The transfer of the account from the present to another voluntary pension fund, made by the Fund as per order of the Fund Member, is not deemed capital gain. The withdrawal of accumulated assets on the basis of the Member’s share in the Fund’s net assets to be invested as per order and for the account of the Fund Member in the purchase of annuities in an insurance company is exempted from the capital gain tax.
