In the cases of mobility of personnel from autonomous bodies where CPF Scheme is in operation to Government Departments or autonomous bodies where pension scheme is in operation, the previous body will be  required to transfer employers share of  CPF contribution plus pro-rata DCRG liability to new Department or body.
