Finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said the appeal, with the relevant documents, must be submitted to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).

“This appeal process is to ensure assistance reaches those who really need it,” he said in a statement here today.

The government has allocated an additional RM2.1 billion for financial aid under the BPR scheme. The allocation was announced with the Pemerkasa Plus economic stimulus package.

Tengku Zafrul said applicants can submit their appeal online at https://bpr.hasil.gov.my or by delivering the BPR 2021 appeal form to LHDN’s branches, Revenue Service Centres or Urban Transformation Centres in person after making appointments.

“Once the BPR database is updated, payments will be channelled to the applicants in August (for additional BPR) and September (BPR Phase 3).”

Tengku Zafrul said applicants can refer to the BPR portal for further information.

He said the government had paid out RM4.6 billion to 8.4 million BPR recipients from the B40 segment in February, March and May this year.

Payments under Phase 3 of the initiative will be made in September.
