Làm thế nào để đọc cái này: The SC/PR couple qualifies for BTO under the Public Scheme. Their $9,200 combined income puts them above the $9,000 EHG threshold (maximum EHG is $80,000 for income ≤$1,500), so their EHG is $5,000 — the minimum band. If they can apply before a salary increase pushes them above $14,000, the income ceiling is not a near-term risk. The advisor flags that the PR co-applicant cannot be the primary applicant — only the SC can be — which affects which party's CPF OA is used for the purchase. This procedural detail is easy to miss in HDB's official guidelines but is surfaced clearly in the eligibility output.
