SJKP Documents Checklist
Non-fixed-income borrowers need to prove income carefully. Here is the SJKP document checklist.
Quick answer
For SJKP, prepare your IC, 6–12 months of bank statements, income proof (invoices, platform/Grab/Shopee screenshots), a statutory or income declaration if required, SSM registration if you run a business, tax documents (Borang B/EA) where applicable, and the booking form / SPA. Banks often average your last 6 months of income and apply a buffer, so keep your statements clean.
Key takeaways
- Bank statements of 6–12 months are central.
- Show income proof: invoices and platform screenshots.
- Add SSM and tax documents where applicable.
- Banks may average 6 months and apply a buffer.
