(3) In computing a commuted pension gratuity for the purposes of subsection (2), the officer's service shall be deemed to include any period of untaken vacation leave for which an ex gratia payment corresponding to the salary for that period has been granted.
(4) Where a pensioner, other than a person referred to in subsection (5), dies after retirement from service under the Government, there shall be paid a death gratuity of an amount equal to-
(a) his annual pensionable emoluments; or
(b) the commuted pension gratuity which he would have received had he opted on his retirement for reduction of his pension by 50% under section 24(1),
whichever is the greater, less any pension benefits already paid or payable to him but excluding any additional pension granted under section 15(1).
(5) Where an officer, who has been granted a deferred pension-
(a) dies before any deferred pension is paid to him, there shall be paid a death gratuity of an amount not exceeding the maximum commuted pension gratuity which he would have received had he retired at the date of his retirement in the public interest under section 11(1)(e), his compulsory retirement under section 11(1)(f) or his resignation under section 11(1)(j), as the case may be, and opted for reduction of his pension by 50% under section 24(1), plus any authorized increase; or
(b) dies after any deferred pension is paid to him, there shall be paid a death gratuity of an amount equal to the maximum commuted pension gratuity which he would have received had he opted for reduction of his pension by 50% under section 24(1) plus any authorized increase thereon up to the time when the deferred pension was paid to him for the first time, less any pension benefits already paid or payable to him and any authorized increase thereon up to the time when the deferred pension was paid to him for the first time, but excluding any additional pension granted under section 15(1).
(6) Subject to subsections (7) and (8), in the case of an officer, other than an officer referred to in subsection (5), who dies in the circumstances described in subsection (1) and whose period of qualifying service is-
(a) not less than 5 nor more than 22 years; or
(b) more than 22 years but whose pensionable service is less than 22 years,
the pensionable service which may be taken into account for the computation of death gratuity may be supplemented by deeming his pensionable service to be-
(i) twice the actual period of his pensionable service (subject to a maximum of 22 years); or
(ii) the period of pensionable service that he would have completed if he had served until attaining his retirement age,
whichever is the lesser.
