There is no limit by the Registrar. It can be claimed at any time by the rightful owner of the Unclaimed Monies.

There is no minimum amount set by the Registrar.

No charge will be imposed on application for Unclaimed Monies that have been submitted to Registrar.
Pursuant to Section 11(3), Unclaimed Monies Act 1965, the amount of payment made is based on amount submitted to Registrar from company/firm without any interest.

The Registrar of Unclaimed Monies does not appoint any individual or company as a middle person or agent in matters relating to claim of Unclaimed Monies.

In accordance with Section 10A of the Unclaimed Monies Act, the submission of UM by the company/firm will be gazetted. The Registrar will submit the submission record to Percetakan Nasional Malaysia Berhad (PNMB) for the gazetting process. Once gazetted, the record is open to public disclosure. Gazette documents are also sold to the public by PNMB apart from being sent to the National Library of Malaysia for public reference. Based on this gazette information, there are parties who use it to act as agents. The Registrar and the Ministry of Finance have never appointed an agent to manage unclaimed monies.

 

The Registrar has no information other than that which has been gazetted. Accordingly, the owner must submit a claim application to the Registrar through the counter, registered post or eGUMIS portal. Any personal information obtained by the agent such as telephone numbers, emails, etc., may be obtained from other irresponsible parties. Any misuse of personal information should refer back to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010.

Gazetted unclaimed monies record shall be kept in the National Library for public reference.
