CAP. 94]

Widows and Orphans Pension.

[1967 Ed.

In this Schedule, unless the registered pension at the 30th June 1959 (calculated on the Table in force on 30th June 1959) exceeds the registered pension as calculated in two parts as stated in this Note, in which case the former is to be retained as the registered pension of the officer as at the 30th June 1959. Variations in the registered pension consequent upon the rise or fall in contributions on or after the 1st July 1959 or resulting from the re-marriage of the officer on or after that date are, however, to be calculated on and in accordance with the Tables and Instructions in this Schedule.

EXAMPLE (1)

Officer born on 31st July 1920
Officer married on 30th June 1945
Officer commenced to contribute on 1st April 1946
Annual contribution as at 30th June 1959 $1,500
Wife born on 31st August 1921
Registered pension as at 30th June 1959 (calculated on Tables in force on that date) $10,785

Quantity found from Table B in force on 30th June 1959, section for officers aged 61 next birthday when they complete their period of contribution—
Husband aged 39 next birthday on 1st July 1959
Wife* aged 38 next birthday on same date 4.50

Therefore, on the Tables in force on 30th June 1959, the part of the registered pension to be purchased by contribution falling due on or after the 1st July 1959 is $1,500 × 4.50, i.e. $6,750.

Therefore, on the same Tables, the part of the registered pension purchased by contributions which fall due on or before 30th June 1959 is $10,785 minus $6,750, i.e. $4,035.

Quantity found from Table B in this Schedule, section for officers aged 61 next birthday when they complete their period of contribution—
Husband aged 39 next birthday on 1st July 1959
Wife* aged 38 next birthday on same date 4.27

Therefore, on the Tables in this Schedule, the amount of the registered pension to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1st July 1959 is $1,500 + $750 (i.e. 50% increase of annual contribution) = $2,250 × 4.27, i.e. $9,607.50.

As, in this example, the part of the registered pension to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1st July 1959, when calculated on the Tables in this Schedule, is greater than the same part when calculated on the Tables in force on 30th June 1959, it is to be added to the part purchased by contributions which fell due on or before 30th June 1959.

Thus, the registered pension in this example, as at 30th June 1959 is....... $4,035.00 + $9,607.50
Total.... $13,642.50

* Note—Where the age is not given in the Tables, proceed as illustrated in the general examples given in section F.
