I use the housing provident fund loan, can I use the provident fund to offset the down payment?

You can't.

Wuhan Housing Provident Fund Management Center stated that the balance in the personal provident fund account cannot be directly used as the down payment. People need to raise the down payment when buying their own houses. The current policy is to withdraw the provident fund to pay the house price.

That is to say, when people buy a house, they pay the prescribed down payment, sign a purchase contract with the developer, and then after the contract is filed by the real estate department, they can withdraw the provident fund to offset the purchase price with the filing contract.

For example, Mr. Luo has a provident fund account of 200,000. He bought a house of 1 10,000. Because it is a second suite, he wants to pay 600,000 yuan with a down payment of 60%. After the contract is filed, 200,000 yuan in the account can be transferred to the developer's account according to the contract to pay the house payment.

However, it should be noted that after using the balance of the provident fund account, Mr. Luo will not be able to apply for a provident fund loan this time. The principle of provident fund loans is that "withdrawal of balance and application for loans cannot be carried out at the same time".
