Since my parents are eligible for the Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS), it would make sense to take advantage of it to boost their retirement funds and some tax relief. Unfortunately GrabPay can no longer be use to top up CPF. Dollars and Sense has a very good step by step guide to top up your CPF Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS). Hence, I did not plan to write a blog post about it but I realised that a screenshots  may have changed since the article was written a few months. https://dollarsandsense.sg/step-step-guide-top-cpf-matched-retirement-savings-scheme-mrss/ I will just quickly capture the screenshots for my own reference. Readers may want to refer to the above link for a detailed guide. 1.
