DAN GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL CIRCULAR NO 141 DATED 15 NOVEMBER 1945

It is understood that this circular relates to the provision of annuities and gratuities for women officials. We are trying to obtain further information about the precise provisions.

SUDAN GOVERNMENT AGENCY IN LONDON SUPERANNUATION SCHEME, 1949

1.

2.

A new scheme was introduced for new appointments and for officers "transferring" from the 1925 Scheme.

This is a non-contributory scheme which provides the officer on retirement at age 60 with not less than 10 years service a pension of 1/80th of average salary over the last 3 years for each year of reckonable service up to 40/80th; and in addition a lump sum of 3/80ths for each year of reckonable service. There is also provision for allocation up to 1/3 of the pension to provide a pension for a dependant.

3. We do not know how many officers are involved in the Scheme. In 1962 there were

12 pensions in payment.

GOVERNOR GENERALS PENSIONS ORDINANCE (into effect 1 Jan 1934)

THE BRITISH TRANSFERRED OFFICIALS ORDINANCE, 1928

i.

This Ordinance preserved the British pension position of officers transferring from pensionable British Government service to the Sudan Civil Service. Under the Ordinance the Sudan Government sets aside each year in a separate fund (the Transferred Officials Pay and Pensions Fund) sufficient money to cover the Sudan pay and pensions of such officers.

THE CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONS ACT, 1962

1. Provides pension cover for Sudanese officials who enter or re-enter the service after 1 June 1962 and Class "A" ie "local" officers covered by the 1919 Act who elect to have the 1962 Act applied to them.

2.

This is a contributory scheme with a 5% deduction from salary, which provides a monthly pension of 1/12 of 1/600 of final salary for each month of effective service, up to a maximum of 2/3rds of final salary.

3. Dependants pensions: 3/4 for 2 or more dependants, 1/2 for one dependant.

4. There is provision for the officer to commute up to 1/3rd of the pension.
