What is HRDF / HRD Corp?
HRD Corp (formerly HRDF — Human Resource Development Fund) is Malaysia's national training fund. Companies with 10+ Malaysian employees are required to contribute a monthly levy of 1% of employees' wages to HRD Corp. In return, these companies can claim back training costs — including team building programmes — from their levy balance.
As of 2026, HRD Corp covers approximately 60,000+ registered employers in Malaysia. If your company contributes to HRD Corp, you are essentially leaving money on the table by not claiming for team building.
Key regulation reference: Human Resources Development Act 2001 (Akta 612). For the latest updates, visit HRD Corp's official site.
How to Claim HRDF for Team Building: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
- Your company must be registered with HRD Corp
- Monthly levies must be current (no outstanding payments)
- You must have sufficient levy balance to cover the claim
- Check your balance at the HRD Corp eTRiS Portal
Step 2: Choose an HRD Corp Registered Provider
- The training provider must be registered with HRD Corp
- Ask the provider for their HRD Corp registration number before booking
- On TeamBuildingMY, all HRDF-claimable providers are marked with a green ✅ badge
Step 3: Submit Grant Application
For SBL scheme: Submit application via eTRiS portal before the training date
- Required: programme details, training schedule, provider information, participant list
- Allow 5–10 working days for approval
For SBL-Khas scheme: Can submit application within 30 days after training
- More flexible for last-minute bookings
- Same documentation requirements
Step 4: Conduct the Programme
- Ensure attendance records are properly documented (sign-in/sign-out sheet)
- Provider should issue official invoice, training report, and certificate of completion
- Take photos as supporting evidence (optional but recommended)
Step 5: Submit Claim

- Attach: official invoice, payment proof, attendance sheet, training report
- HRD Corp processes claims within 14–30 working days

What Costs Can You Claim?
| Cost Type | SBL | SBL-Khas | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course/programme fees | ✅ | ✅ | Up to allowable rate per trainee |
| Trainer/facilitator fees | ✅ | ✅ | For external trainers |
| Training materials | ✅ | ✅ | Handouts, kits, workbooks |
| Meals & refreshments | ✅ | ⚠️ Limited | Subject to per-trainee cap |
| Venue rental | ✅ | ⚠️ Limited | If not at company premises |
| Accommodation | ✅ | ❌ | For overnight programmes only |
| Transport | ⚠️ Limited | ❌ | Some schemes allow, check with HRD Corp |
| Certification | ✅ | ✅ | If included in programme |
Important: Claimable amounts are subject to HRD Corp's allowable cost matrix, which varies by programme category and duration. Your provider should be familiar with these limits and price their programmes accordingly.
SBL vs SBL-Khas: Which Scheme to Use?
| Factor | SBL | SBL-Khas |
|---|---|---|
| Application timing | Before training | Within 30 days after training |
| Approval required before training? | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Best for | Planned programmes (6+ weeks ahead) | Last-minute or ad-hoc training |
| Claimable costs | Comprehensive | More limited |
| Documentation | Full submission required | Streamlined documentation |
| Approval speed | 5–10 working days pre-training | Post-training submission |
Recommendation: Use SBL for annual planned team building (higher claim amounts). Use SBL-Khas when booking with less than 4 weeks notice (more flexible but slightly lower coverage).
Common HRDF Claim Mistakes
1. Submitting SBL application after the training date. SBL requires pre-approval. If you miss this, switch to SBL-Khas (within 30 days) — but claimable amounts may be lower.
2. Using a non-registered provider. If the provider is not HRD Corp registered, the claim will be rejected regardless of programme quality. Always verify registration before signing.
3. Missing the 60-day claim window. After programme completion, you have 60 days to submit supporting documents. No extensions. Set a reminder immediately after the event.
4. Incomplete attendance records. HRD Corp requires signed attendance sheets with check-in and check-out times. Digital attendance is accepted via eTRiS. If participants leave early, record actual departure times.
5. Claiming for non-eligible participants. Only Malaysian employees who contribute to the HRD Corp levy are eligible. Foreign workers and contract staff on different payroll structures may not qualify.
6. Not matching invoice to approved programme. The invoiced amount must match or be less than the approved grant amount. Discrepancies delay or void claims.
HRDF Team Building Budget Planning
For a typical 50-person full-day team building programme:
| Item | Estimated Cost | HRDF Claimable? |
|---|---|---|
| Programme fee (RM250/pax) | RM12,500 | ✅ Yes |
| Venue rental | RM3,000 | ✅ Partial |
| F&B (RM50/pax) | RM2,500 | ✅ Partial |
| Transport | RM2,000 | ⚠️ Limited |
| Photography | RM1,500 | ❌ No |
| Total | RM21,500 | ~RM15,000–RM18,000 claimable |
Net cost after HRDF claim: approximately RM3,500–RM6,500 — a 70–85% reduction in out-of-pocket expenses.
How to Maximise Your HRDF Claims
-
Plan ahead and use SBL. SBL offers higher claimable amounts than SBL-Khas. The 6-week planning window is worth the higher returns.
-
Bundle team building with training. Programmes that combine experiential activities with structured learning modules (leadership, communication, conflict resolution) have higher claim ceilings than purely recreational activities.
-
Use your full levy balance. Check your balance annually. Many companies accumulate significant unused levies — use them or lose them when the retention period expires.
-
Choose providers who handle documentation. Professional HRDF providers prepare all required documents (application form, attendance template, training report, invoice format) as part of their service. This saves your HR team hours of admin work.
-
Run programmes quarterly. Instead of one annual event, distribute your levy across 4 quarterly team building sessions. This maximises annual claims while maintaining consistent team development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is team building HRDF claimable in Malaysia?
Yes. Team building is HRD Corp (HRDF) claimable under the SBL and SBL-Khas schemes, provided it is structured as training with documented learning objectives (leadership, communication, problem-solving) and delivered by an HRD Corp registered provider. Purely recreational outings such as casual dinners or sports days without learning outcomes are not claimable.
What are the requirements for HRDF claimable team building?
Four requirements: (1) the training provider must be registered with HRD Corp; (2) usually a minimum of 5 participants per trainer; (3) the programme needs documented learning objectives with roughly 60% structured learning (workshops, reflection, debrief) and 40% practical activities; and (4) mandatory documentation — grant application via the e-TRiS portal before the event, plus attendance sheets and a post-event report for the claim.
How do I claim HRDF for team building?
Ensure your company is registered with HRD Corp, select a registered provider, submit the grant application via the e-TRiS portal before training (SBL) or within 30 days after (SBL-Khas), then submit the claim with supporting documents (invoice, attendance, post-event report) within 60 days.
How much can I claim from HRDF for team building?
Claimable amounts typically cover 70–85% of total programme cost including course fees, trainer allowances, materials, and partial venue/meal costs, subject to the HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix.
What is the difference between SBL and SBL-Khas?
SBL requires pre-approval and offers comprehensive coverage. SBL-Khas allows post-training submission (within 30 days) with slightly limited coverage. Use SBL for planned events, SBL-Khas for ad-hoc bookings.
