HKG permits overseas officers appointed on agreement terms whose applications to transfer to pensionable terms were approved after 26 July 1991, to have 12 months after the date they became pensionable in which to buy back pensionable service. Overseas officers appointed on agreement terms who transferred to pensionable terms before 26 July 1991 may buy back pensionable service at any time up to retirement. Judicial officers, on the permanent establishment, who were aged 53 or above on 30 August 1991, were permitted to retain the right to refund contract gratuities by means of one lump sum payment not later than 10 days before they commenced pre-retirement leave.

HMG has decided that:
(i) Officers whose applications for transfer to pensionable terms were approved after 26 July 1991 must decide and commence buying back service within 6 months of the date their applications are approved if they wish bought back service to count as pensionable service under any compensation
scheme for HMOCS officers.
