PART 1
PRELIMINARY
1. These regulations may be cited as the Pensions Regulations.
2.[Revoked, 26 of 1982, s. 61
PART 11
OFFICERS OTHER THAN TRANSFERRED OFFICERS
3. Save when the Governor in any special case otherwise directs, this Part
shall not apply in the case of any officer transferred to or from the service under
the Government from or to other public service except for the purpose of
determining whether such officer would have been eligible for pension or
gratuity and the amount of pension or gratuity, for which the officer would have
been eligible, if the service of the officer had been wholly under the Government.
4. (1) Subject to the provisions of the Ordinance and of these regulations,
every officer holding an established office under the Government, who has been
in the service under the Government in a civil capacity for 10 years or more,
shall be granted on retirement a pension at the annual rate of one six-hundredth
of his pensionable emoluments for each complete month of his pensionable
service, and any incomplete month of pensionable service shall be taken to be
that fraction of a complete month whereof the denominator is 30 and the
numerator the number of days of pensionable service in that incomplete month,
irrespective of the actual number of days in that month.
(2) Notwithstanding the limit in the service specified in paragraph (1), a
pension shall be granted in accordance with that paragraph to an officer who is
retired under section 6(1)(i) or (j) irrespective of the length of his qualifying
service.
5. Every officer, otherwise qualified for a pension, who has not been in the
service under the Government in a civil capacity for 10 years, shall be granted
on retirement a gratuity not exceeding 7 times the annual amount of the pension
which, if there had been no qualifying period, might have been granted to him
under regulation 4.
6. Where a female officer who-
(a)has been appointed to an established office before 17 November
1972;
(b)has been in the public service under the Government for not less
than 5 years;
(c) has been confirmed in an established office; and
(d)is not eligible for the grant of a pension or otherwise eligible for a
gratuity under this Part,
retires from the public service for the reason that she has married or is about to
marry she may be granted, on production within 6 months after her retirement,
or within such longer period as the Governor may in any particular case allow,
of satisfactory evidence of her marriage, a gratuity of an amount not exceeding
(i)the highest annual rate of pensionable emoluments with effect from 9
December 1949; or
(ii)four and one-sixth times the annual amount of the pension which
might have been granted to her under regulation 4 had there been no
qualifying period and had regulation 4 been applicable to her,
whichever is the less.
PART 111
TRANSFERRED OFFICERS
7. This Part shall apply only in the case of an officer transferred to or
from the service under the Government from or to other public service.
8. (1) In this Part and Part IV'Scheduled Government' means
(a)the Government of any territory, or any authority, mentioned in the
Schedule;
(b)the Government of Ceylon, in respect of any officer appointed
to service under that Government before 4 February 1948;
(c)the Government of Palestine, in respect of any officer
appointed to service under that Government before 15 May
1948;
(d)the Government of the Somali Republic, in respect of any
officer appointed to service under the former Government of
the Somaliland Protectorate before 26 June 1960;
(e)the Government of Cyprus, in respect of any officer appointed
to service under that Government before 16 August 1960; and
the East African Common Services Organization or, with effect
from 1 December 1967, the East African Community, in respect
of any person deemed to have been appointed or appointed to
service as President, VicePresident, Justice of Appeal,
Registrar, officer or servant of the Court of Appeal for Eastern
Africa or, with effect from 1 December 1967, of the Court of
Appeal for East Africa;
'service in the Group' means service under the Government and under a
Scheduled Government or Scheduled Governments.
(I A) For the purpose of this Part and Part IV
(a) any officer in public service under the Government of the
Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland immediately before
1 January 1964 who was, immediately before that date,
employed on secondment to service under the Government
of Southern Rhodesia, the Government of Northern
Rhodesia or the Government of Nyasaland, or was as
from that date so employed, shall be deemed to continue in
public service under the Government of the he Federation of
Rhodesia and Nyasaland until his employment on second-
ment is terminated;
(b)any pension awarded on or after 1 January 1964 in respect of
service under the Government of the Federation of Rhodesia
and Nyasaland shall be deemed to have been granted by that
Government notwithstanding the provisions of the Federation
of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (Dissolution) Order in Council
1963.
(2) Where an officer, to whom this Part applies, is, on his retirement
from the public service, not granted a pension or gratuity in respect of
his employment in the service in which he is last employed, solely by
reason of the fact that he has not held office therein for a specified
period he shall nevertheless be deemed for the purpose of this Part to
have retired in circumstances in which he is permitted by the law or
regulations of the service in which he is last employed to retire on
pension or gratuity.
9. (1) Where the other public service of an officer to whom this Part
applies has been wholly under one or more Scheduled Government, and
his aggregate service would have qualified him had it been wholly under
the Government for a pension under the Ordinance, he may, on his
retirement from the public service in circumstances in which he is
permitted by the law or regulations of the service in which he is last
employed to retire on pension or gratuity be granted in respect of his
service under the Government a pension of such an amount as shall bear
the same proportion to the amount of pension for which he would have
been eligible had his service been wholly under the Government, as the
aggregate amounts of his pensionable emoluments during his service
under the Government shall bear to the aggregate amounts of his
pensionable emoluments throughout his service in the Group.
(2) In determining for the purposes of this regulation the pension
for which an officer would have been eligible if his service had been
wholly under the Government
(a) in the application of regulation 18-
(i) where the officer is not serving under a Scheduled
Government at the date of his retirement from the public
service, subject to sub-sub-paragraph (ii) the highest
pensionable emoluments enjoyed by him in the service of a
Scheduled Government shall be taken;
(ii) if, by reason of any order made in any disciplinary
proceedings against the officer, the amount to be taken in
accordance with the provisions of sub-sub-paragraph (i)
exceeds the pensionable emoluments enjoyed by him at the
date of his retirement or transfer, as the case may be, there
shall be taken such pensionable emoluments;
(b)no regard shall be had to an additional pension under
regulation 22 or 31;
(c)regard shall be had to the condition that pension may not
exceed two-thirds of his highest pensionable emoluments;
(d)no period of other public service under a Scheduled
Government in respect of which no pension or gratuity is
grantable to him shall be taken into account.
(3) For the purposes of this regulation, the aggregate amount of an
officer's pensionable emoluments shall be taken as the total amount of
pensionable emoluments which he would have received or enjoyed had
he been on duty on full pay in his substantive office or offices
throughout his period of service in the Group subsequent to the
attainment of the age of 18 years:
Provided that
(a)in calculating the aggregate amount of his pensionable
emoluments, no account shall be taken of any service under
the Government or under a Scheduled Government in respect
of which no pension or gratuity is granted to him by the
Government or such Scheduled Government, as the case may
be;
(b)where any service in a civil capacity otherwise than in a
pensionable or established office is taken into account as
pensionable service, the officer's aggregate pensionable
emoluments during that service shall be taken into account
to the same extent as that service is taken into account as
pensionable service;
(c)where an officer entered the public service prior to 1 January
1930, his pension in respect of his service under the
Government may be calculated as though any Scheduled
Government under which he has served had not been in-
cluded in these regulations should this be to his advantage.
10. (1) Where the other public service of an officer to whom
this Part applies has not included service under any of the Scheduled
Governments, and his aggregate service would have qualified him,
had it been wholly under the Government, for a pension under these
regulations he may, on his retirement from the public service in
circumstances in which he is permitted by the law or regulations of
the service in which he is last employed to retire on a pension or
gratuity, be granted in respect of his service under the Government a
pension at the annual rate of one six-hundredth of his pensionable
emoluments for each complete month of his pensionable service
under the Government, and any incomplete month of pensionable
service shall be taken to be that fraction of a complete month
whereof the denominator is 30 and the numerator the number of
days of pensionable service in that incomplete month, irrespective of
the actual number of days in that month.
(2) Where the officer is not in the service under the Govern-
ment at the time of such retirement, his pensionable emoluments for
the purposes of paragraph (1) shall be those which would have been
taken for the purpose of computing his pension if he had retired
from the public service and been granted a pension at the date of his
last transfer from the service under the Government.
11. Where a part only of the other public service of an officer
to whom this Part applies has been under one or more of the
Scheduled Governments, the provisions of regulation 9 shall apply;
but in calculating the amount of pension regard shall be had only to
service in the Group.
12. Where an officer to whom this Part applies retires from the
public service in circumstances in which he is permitted by the law or
regulations of the service in which he is last employed to retire on
pension or gratuity, but has not been in the public service in a civil
capacity for 10 years, he may be granted in respect of his service
under the Government a gratuity not exceeding 7 times the annual
amount of the pension which, if there had been no qualifying period,
might have been granted to him under regulation 9, 10 or 11, as the
case may be.
13. (1) Subject to paragraph (2), where a female officer to whom this
Part applies retires or is required to retire from the public service for the
reason that she is about to marry or has married, and
(a)would have been eligible for a gratuity under regulation 6
disregarding sub-paragraph (a) thereof if her public service
had been wholly under the Government; and
(b)is not eligible for the grant of any pension or otherwise
eligible for a gratuity under this Part,
she may be granted in respect of her public service under the
Government a gratuity of an amount not exceeding four and one-sixth
times the annual amount of the pension for which she would have been
eligible under regulation 9, 10 or 11 had there been no qualifying period
and had regulation 9, 10 or 11, as the case may be, been applicable to
her:
Provided that, for the purpose of computing the amount of such a
gratuity
(a)in relation to a pension under regulation 9 or 11, regulation
9(2)(c) shall have effect as if the reference therein to two-
thirds of her highest pensionable emoluments were a
reference to six twenty-fifths of her annual pensionable
emoluments; and
(b)in relation to a pension under regulation 9, 10 or 11, the annual
amount of that pension shall not exceed six twentyfifths of her
annual pensionable emoluments.
(2) In the case of a female officer transferring to the service under
the Government from other public service and retiring whilst in the
service under the Government, paragraph (1) only applies if the last
such transfer preceding the retirement occurred before 17 November
1972.
PART IV
GENERAL
14. (1) Subject to the provisions of these regulations, qualifying
service shall be the inclusive period between the date on which an
officer begins to draw salary in respect of public service and the date of
his leaving the public service, without deduction of any period during
which he has been absent on leave.
(2) No period which is not qualifying service by virtue of paragraph
(1) shall be taken into account as pensionable service or as service for
the.purpose of calculating an allowance under Part V.
(3) No period during which the officer was not in public service
shall be taken into account as qualifying service or as pensionable
service or service for the purpose of calculating an allowance under Part
V:
Provided that any period during which an officer shall have
been seconded for non-public service with the approval of the
Governor may be taken into account as qualifying service and as
pensionable service or service for the purpose of calculating an
allowance under Part V.

only continuous service shall be taken into account as qualifying
service or as pensionable service:
Provided that any break in service caused by temporary suspen-
sion of employment not arising from misconduct or voluntary
resignation shall be disregarded for the purposes of this paragraph.

Ordinance or under a corresponding provision in any law
or regulation relating to the grant of pensions in respect of
public service; or
(b)who has retired from the public service without pension on
account of ill-health, abolition of office, or re-organization
designed to effect greater efficiency or economy, and has

service immediately prior to such suspension, re-employment or
employment had not occurred, such pension to be in lieu of-
(i)any pension previously granted to him from the general
revenue; and
(ii)any gratuity so granted which is required to be refunded
as a condition of the application to the officer of this
regulation,
but additional to any gratuity so granted which is not required to be
refunded as aforesaid.
(2A) Where an officer has more than one qualifying service or
pensionable service-
(a)all such service may be aggregated in accordance with
paragraph (2); or
(b) each such service may be treated separately,
for the purposes of the grant of pension or gratuity in respect of such
service, whichever is to his advantage in the circumstances.
(3)(a) A break in the service of an officer occurring wholly
between 12 July 1946 and 23 July 1946, or between 16
August 1947 and 23 September 1947, as a result of the

officer shall be disregarded for the purpose of computing
the length of service qualifying for pension, annual allow-
ance or gratuity:
Provided that any such break in service shall not be
disregarded in computing the length of service for the
purpose of determining the amount of such pension,
annual allowance or gratuity.

January 1947, in relation to officers to whom Part V does
not apply and from 9 December 1949, in relation to officers
to whom Part V applies.
16. Where an officer shall have served with Her Majesty's
Forces in time of war and before so serving shall have been
employed in the public service the following provisions shall have
effect-
(a)during the period of such service in Her Majesty's Forces,
including any period after the termination of the war (in
this regulation referred to as military service), he shall be
deemed for the purposes of the Ordinance and these
regulations to have been on leave on full salary from the
public service in which he was last employed, and to have
held the substantive office last held by him in that service
prior to military service;
(b)during any period between his leaving the public service for
the purpose of serving in Her Majesty's Forces and the
date of his commencing military service he shall, for the
purposes of the Ordinance and of these regulations, be
deemed to be on leave without pay, not granted on
grounds of public policy, from the public service in which
he was last employed and to have held the substantive
office last held by him in that service prior to military
service; and during any period between the termination of
his military service and the date of his re-entering the
public service he shall, for the said purposes, be deemed to
be on leave as aforesaid from the service and to have held
the substantive office in which he is re-employed:
Provided that-
(i)this regulation shall not apply when either period men-
tioned in paragraph (b) exceeds 3 months, or such longer
period as the Governor may in any special case determine; or if the
officer fails after serving with Her Majesty's Forces to re-enter the
public service otherwise than in circumstances in which he would be
permitted under the law applicable to the public service in which he
is last employed prior to military service, to retire on pension or
gratuity, such circumstances arising not later than the expiration of 3
months or such longer period as may be determined as aforesaid,
after the termination of his military service;
(ii)this regulation shall not apply when subsequent to the
commencement of the Ordinance an officer shall have commenced
service with Her Majesty's Forces without the approval of the
Governor of the territory in the service of which he was last
employed before so serving;
(iii)if during any period mentioned in paragraph (a) the officer shall have
qualified for pension, or received emoluments in lieu of pension
rights, actually in respect of military service, paragraph (a) shall, as
respects that period, have effect as if the words leave without salary
not granted on grounds of public policy' were substituted for
the words leave on full salary';
(iv)if during his military service the officer shall be injured or killed, he
shall not, for the purposes of any provision of the Ordinance or of
these regulations relating to injury awards, be deemed to have been
injured or killed in the discharge of his duty;
(v)the provisions of this regulation which require that the officer shall
be deemed to have held a specified office and to have been on leave
from a specified service shall not apply in respect of any period
during which he shall actually have held any other substantive office
and have been on leave from any public service;
(vi)save where in any particular case the Governor otherwise directs,
this regulation shall not apply where the office in the public service
last held by the officer prior to military service was not an
established office;
(vii)the provisions of this regulation shall not apply to an officer who
has received a pension or gratuity during a period of service in Her
Majesty's Forces in respect of public service prior to joining Her
Majesty's Forces.
17. [Revoked, 36 of 1987, s. 491
18. (1) Subject to this regulation, for the purpose of computing the
amount of the pension or gratuity of an officer, the highest pensionable
emoluments enjoyed or drawn by him during his service in an establish ed office
shall be taken:
Provided that if, by reason of any order made in any disciplinary
proceedings against any officer, the amount to be taken in
accordance with the provisions of this regulation exceeds the
pensionable emoluments enjoyed by him at the date of his retirement,
there shall be taken such pensionable emoluments.
(I A) Where an officer has more than one period of continuous
service the highest pensionable emoluments enjoyed or drawn by him in
the course of any particular period of continuous service only shall be
taken into account for computing the amount of the pension or gratuity
for that period.
(IB) Where an officer is serving on trial or probation in an office
immediately following service other than on trial or probation, the
highest pensionable emoluments which the officer would have enjoyed
or drawn in his substantive rank at the date of his retirement or death
shall be taken for the purpose of computing the amount of the pension
or gratuity of the officer.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) any increase in the pensionable
emoluments of any office held by an officer due to a revision of salaries
with effect from a date subsequent to the commencement of a period of
his absence from duty on leave without salary shall be disregarded for
the purposes of paragraph (1), unless
(i)the officer has since the expiration of that period of absence
and in respect of that period of absence, (taking the earliest
period first if there is more than one) completed an equal
period of service on duty or leave with salary (other than
leave immediately preceding retirement); or
(ii) the officer retires in one of the cases referred to in section 6(c),
(d) or (e) of the Ordinance; or
(iii) the Governor in any case otherwise directs.
19. (1) Subject to paragraphs (2) to (9) hereof, only service in an
established office shall be taken into account as pensionable service.
(2) Where a period of service in a civil capacity otherwise than in
an established office is immediately followed by service in an
established office and the officer is confirmed therein
(a)three-quarters of such period may with the approval of the
Governor be so taken into account; or
(b)if prior to 31 May 1937, the officer was in the service under
the Government and such period of service might have been
taken into account as pensionable service either as a whole or
less a third for any part of such period paid for out of an open
vote, such period may as a whole or less such third, continue
to be so taken into account, if this shall be to such officer's
advantage.
(3) Any break in service which may be disregarded under the
provisions of regulation 15 may likewise be disregarded in determining
for the purposes of paragraph (2), (8)(d) or (9) whether one period of
service immediately follows another period of service.
(4) Where an officer has been transferred from an established office
in which he has been confirmed to a non-established office and
subsequently retires either from an established office or a
nonestablished office, his service in the non-established office may, with
the approval of the Governor, be taken into account as though it were
service in the established office which he held immediately prior to such
transfer and at the pensionable emoluments which were payable to him
at the date of transfer; except
(a)where the officer so elects, his total service including service
in the established office,'may be reckoned as though it were
service in a non-established office; and
(b)where a transfer from an established to a non-established
office is made to provide continued employment for an officer
who, on the ground of physical infirmity, has become
incapable of retaining his established office, then the whole of
his service shall be deemed to be service in a non-established
office unless, by his subsequent retransfer to an established
office, his case is brought within the provisions of paragraph
(2).
(5) Where a period of service in a non-established office is so taken
into account under this regulation, the officer shall, during that period,
be deemed for the purposes of regulations 6, 22 and 31 to be holding an
established office, and where that period is taken into account under
paragraph (4), to have been confirmed therein.
(6) Where a female officer-
(a)has, prior to 27 May 1966, retired from the service by reason of
her marriage; and
(b)has, upon retirement, received a marriage gratuity under these
regulations,
the period of service prior to such retirement shall not be taken into
account as pensionable service.
(7) Where a female officer, other than a divorced or widowed female
officer confirmed in an established office prior to 17 November 1972, has,
after marriage, served in an established office prior to 27 May 1966, her
service as a married officer for the period up to that date shall be deemed
to be service in a non-established office and only three-quarters of such
period may, with the approval of the Governor, be taken into account as
pensionable service.
(8) Where a female officer who-
(a)has retired by reason of her marriage between 27 May 1966
and 17 November 1972; and
(b) has received a gratuity under regulation 6 or 13,
is subsequently re-employed in the service under the Government, the
period of service under the Government in respect of which the gratuity
was granted shall not be taken into account as pensionable service
unless
(c)an application to the contrary is made within 6 months of 17
November 1972;
(d) there has been no break of service; and
(e)the gratuity received is refunded together with interest at a
rate to be determined by the Financial Secretary.
(91) Where a female officer who-
(a)has, prior to 17 November 1972, retired from the service
by reason of her marriage; and
(b)has not, upon retirement, received a marriage gratuity under
these regulations,
is without break in service subsequently re-employed in the service
under the Government, the period of service prior to such retirement
shall be taken into account as pensionable service.
19A. ln the case of an officer who retires from the public service
under section 6(e) of the Ordinance and whose period of qualifying
service under the Government is
(a) not less than 5 nor more than 20 years; or
(b)more than 20 years but whose period of pensionable
service is less than 20 years,
his pensionable service shall be deemed to be-
(i)twice the actual period of his pensionable service, subject to a
maximum of 20 years; or
(ii) the period of pensionable service that he would have
completed if he had served until attaining the age of 55 years,
whichever is the lesser.
20. Where an officer has performed acting service in an office under
the Government the period of such service may be taken into account as
pensionable service (subject if the office is a nonestablished office to the
provisions of regulation 19) if the period of such acting service
(a)is not taken into account as part of the officer's own
pensionable service in other public service;
(b)is immediately preceded or followed by service as the
substantive holder of an established office under the
Government.
21. Save as otherwise provided in these regulations, there shall not
be taken into account as pensionable service
(a)any period of service while the officer was under the age of 18
years; or
(b)any period of service while he was on agreement expressly
providing for the payment of a gratuity dependent upon the
length of his service or on agreement on monthly terms not
providing for payment of a gratuity or while he was on
probation, unless without break of service he is confirmed in
an established office in the public service and, if on agreement
providing for the payment of such a gratuity, has repaid the
gratuity (if any) received in respect of that period; or
(c)any period during which an officer shall have been absent from
duty on leave without salary unless such leave shall
have been granted on grounds of public policy with the approval
the Governor:
(d) [Deleted, 36 of 1987, s. 49]
Provided that any break of service which may be disregarded under
the provisions of regulation 15 may likewise be disregarded in
determining whether the officer is confirmed in an established office
without break of service.
22. If an officer holding an established office and who has been
confirmed therein retires from the public service in consequence of the
abolition of his office or for the purpose of facilitating improvements in
the organization of the department to which he belongs, by which
greater efficiency or economy may be effected
(a)he may, if he has been in the public service for less than 10
years, be granted in lieu of any gratuity under regulation 5 or
12, a pension under regulation 4, 9, 10 or 11, as the case may
be, as if the words 'for 10 years or more' were omitted from
regulation 4;
(b)he may, if he retires from the service under the Government, be
granted an additional pension at the annual rate of one-
sixtieth of his pensionable emoluments for each complete
period of 3 years' pensionable service:
Provided that-
(i) the addition shall not exceed ten-sixtieths; and
(ii) the addition together with the remainder of the officer's
pension shall not exceed the pension for which he would have
been eligible if he had continued to hold the office held by him
at the date of his retirement and retired on reaching the age at
which he is normally required to retire under the provisions of
section 8 of the Ordinance, having received all increments for
which he would have been eligible by that date.
23. (1) Subject to paragraph (7), an officer to whom a pension is
granted under the Ordinance shall, if he has exercised his option as
hereinafter provided, but not otherwise, be paid in lieu of such pension
a pension at the rate of 75, 80, 85, 90 or 95 per cent of such pension,
respectively, as he shall have exercised his option, together with a
gratuity equal to 14 times the amount of the annual reduction so made in
the pension.
(2) The option referred to in paragraph (1) shall be exercisable, and
if it has been exercised may be revoked, not later than the day
immediately preceding the date of such officer's retirement:
Provided that the Governor may, if it appears to him equitable in all
the circumstances so to do, allow him to exercise the option or revoke
an option previously exercised at any time between that date and the
actual date of award of pension under the Ordinance.
(3) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), if an officer has
exercised the option his decision shall be irrevocable so far as concerns
any pension to be granted to him under the Ordinance.
(4) If an officer who has not exercised the option dies after he has
finally retired but before a pension has been awarded under the
Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Governor to grant a gratuity and a
reduced pension as provided in paragraph (1), as if the officer before his
death had exercised his option to receive a gratuity and 75 per cent of
the pension granted to him.
(5) The date of the exercise of the option by an officer shall be
deemed to be the date of the receipt of his written notification addressed
to the Director of Accounting Services.
(6) A re-employed officer or pensioner shall be deemed to have
exercised, or not to have exercised, in respect of his service subsequent
to re-employment, the said option, according as he exercised, or did not
exercise, such option in respect of his previous service even if, in
respect of such previous service, the option was not available to him.
(7) Where an officer retires or leaves the service in accordance with
any compensation scheme, the reduced pension and the gratuity in lieu
of the reduction in the pension shall be in accordance with the
compensation scheme applicable to the officer.
PART V
NON-PENSIONABLE OFFICERS
24. This Part shall apply only to non-pensionable officers and shall
have effect from the date of enactment hereof.
25. In this Part-
',salary' and 'pay' mean remuneration exclusive of cost of living
allowance or other allowance or extra pay for work done in hours
which are beyond the normal working period:
Provided that in the case of an officer who has elected
',salary' means 90 per cent of such salary as hereinbefore defined;

daily paid employee;
(b)an officer other than a daily paid employee who does not hold
an established office or who holding an established office is

monthly paid officers:
Provided that an officer holding an established office whilst on
probation who is confirmed without break of service to an
established office shall not be eligible for benefit under this Part in
respect of service in an established office whilst on probation.
For the purpose of this provision any break of service which
may be disregarded under the provisions of regulation 15 may
likewise be disregarded in determining whether an officer is
confirmed in an established office without break of service.
26. (1) Every monthly paid non-pensionable officer serving under
the Government in respect of whom the conditions set forth herein are
fulfilled may on retirement be granted by the Governor an annual
allowance which, if his length of service does not exceed 25 years, shall
be calculated at the rate of one eight-hundredth of his annual salary for
every complete month of service under the Government and if his service
exceeds 25 years, shall be calculated at three-hundred eight-hundredths
of such annual salary with an addition thereto of one six-hundredth of
such annual salary for every complete month of service under the
Government in excess of 25 years, and any incomplete month of service
shall be taken to be that fraction of a complete month whereof the
denominator is 30 and the numerator the number of days of service in
that incomplete month, irrespective of the actual number of days in that
month.
(2) Such annual salary shall be computed in accordance with the
provisions of regulation 18, subject to the following modifications
(a)for the word 'pension' wherever it occurs, there shall be
substituted the words 'annual allowance';

(1) there shall be substituted the words 'public service';
(c)for the words 'pensionable emoluments' wherever they occur,
there shall be substituted the word 'salary'; and

'regulation 26(4)(c), (cc) or (d)'.
(3) Annual salary in respect of an officer who, having held a non-
established office is serving on probation in an established office, shall
be the annual pensionable emoluments of the established office or the
annual pay last received in respect of his service in a non-established
office, whichever shall be greater.
(4) The conditions upon which an annual allowance or gratuity
may be granted under this regulation are
(a)subject to paragraphs (9) and (10), such service must have
been continuous for a period of not less than 10 years:
Provided that such interruptions in service which may be
disregarded under regulation 15 for the purpose of qualifying
for and computing a pension may be disregarded for the
purpose of qualifying for and computing an annual allowance
under this regulation; and either
(b) the officer must have attained the age of 55; or
(M) where the officer's retirement is with the approval of the
Governor, the officer must have attained the age of 45; or
(c)the Governor must be satisfied on medical evidence that he is
incapable by reason of infirmity of mind or body of
discharging the duties of his office and that such infirmity is
likely to be permanent; or
(cc) the officer's retirement must be necessitated by the abolition of
his office; or
(d)the officer's retirement must be necessitated by the reorganization of the department to which he belongs in order to effect
greater economy or efficiency.

regulation shall, if he has exercised his option as hereinafter provided,
but not otherwise, be paid in lieu of such annual allowance an annual
allowance at the rate of 75, 80, 85, 90 or 95 per cent of such annual
allowance, respectively, as he shall have exercised his option, together
with a gratuity equal to 14 times the amount of the annual reduction so
made in the annual allowance.
(5A) The option referred to in paragraph (5) shall be exercisable,
and if it has been exercised may be revoked, not later than the day
immediately preceding the date of such officer's retirement:
Provided that the Governor may, if it appears to him equitable in all
the circumstances so to do, allow him to exercise the option or revoke
the option previously exercised at any time between that date and the
actual date of award of the annual allowance under this regulation.
(5B) Subject to paragraph (5A), if an officer has exercised the
option his decision shall be irrevocable so far as concerns any annual
allowance to be granted to him under this regulation.
(5C) If an officer who has not exercised the option dies after he has
finally retired but before an annual allowance has been granted to him
under his regulation, it shall be lawful for the Governor to grant a
gratuity and reduced annual allowance as provided in' paragraph (5), as
if the officer before his death had exercised his option to receive a
gratuity and 75 per cent of the annual allowance.
(5D) The date of exercise of the option by an officer shall be
deemed to be the date of the receipt of his written notification addressed
to the Director of Accounting Services.
(6) No annual allowance may be granted under this regulation to
any officer in an established office in excess of the pension which might
have been granted had that officer been a pensionable officer in the
office held by him, with the same service.
(7) No period during which a non-pensionable officer shall have
been absent from duty on leave without salary shall be taken into
account for the purpose of computing the period of service in respect
of which an annual allowance or gratuity may be granted under
these regulations:
Provided that such period of leave shall not be deemed to
constitute a break in service.
(8) Every monthly paid non-pensionable officer serving under the
Government who retires on any of the conditions stated in paragraph (4)
(b), (M), (c), (cc) and (d) and who on his retirement has not completed 10
years unbroken service may be granted by the Governor a gratuity not
exceeding 7 times the annual allowance which if there has been no
qualifying period might have been granted to him under this regulation.
(8A) Where a non-pensionable female officer who
(a)has, prior to 17 November 1972, retired from the service by
reason of her marriage; and
(b)has not, upon retirement, received a marriage gratuity under
these regulations,
is without break in service subsequently re-employed in the service
under the Government, the period of service prior to such retirement
shall be taken into account for the purpose of computing the period of
service in respect of which an annual allowance or gratuity may be
granted under these regulations.
(9) In the case of an officer who retires under paragraph (4)(c) and
whose period of service under the Government is
(a) not less than 5 nor more than 20 years; or
(b)more than 20 years but whose period of service to be taken
into account in computing an award under paragraph (1) is
less than 20 years,
for the purposes of paragraph (1) or paragraph (8) his period of service
to be taken into account in computing an award under paragraph (1)
shall be deemed to be
(i)twice his actual period of service to be taken into account in
computing an award under paragraph (1) (subject to a
maximum of 20 years); or
(ii)the period of service to be taken into account in computing an
award under paragraph (1) that he would have completed if he
had served until attaining the age of 55 years,
whichever is the lesser.
(10) Where an officer's retirement is necessitated by the abolition of
his office or by the reorganization of the department to which he
belongs in order to effect greater economy or efficiency
(a)he may, if he has been in the service of the Government for
less than 10 years, be granted in lieu of any gratuity under
paragraph (8), an annual allowance under paragraph (1), as if
the words 'for a period of not less than 10 years' were
omitted from paragraph (4)(a);
(b)he may be granted an additional annual allowance in respect
of his unbroken service calculated in the following manner
(i) for each complete period of 3 years service under the
Government up to 24 years, one-eightieth of his annual
salary;
(ii) for the complete period of 3 years service under the
Government after 24 years, eleven-seven hundred and
twentieth of his annual salary;
(iii) for each complete period of 3 years service under the
Government after 27 years, one-sixtieth of his annual salary:
Provided that-
(i) any such additional annual allowance shall not exceed
ten-eightieths of his annual salary; and
(ii) any such additional annual allowance together with the
remainder of the officer's annual allowance shall not exceed
the annual allowance for which he would have been eligible if
he had continued to hold the office held by him at the date of
his retirement and retired on reaching the age of 55 having
received all increments for which he would have been eligible
by that date.
27. Every daily paid employee serving under the Government may
on his retirement on any of the conditions stated in regulation 26(4)(b),
(M), (e), (cc) and (d) after completing not less than 5 years unbroken
service be granted by the Governor a gratuity calculated at the rate of 15
times the rate of pay per day of which he is in receipt at the time of his
retirement for every completed period of 12 month's service:
Provided that the Governor may give directions in any particular
case that service prior to a break which is not occasioned by dismissal
for misconduct or by voluntary resignation and which does not extend
for more than 3 years, shall be deemed to have preceded subsequent
service without break.
28. (1) Where a person's service under the Government has been
partly as a monthly paid officer and partly as a daily paid employee he
may if he fulfils any of the conditions set out in regulation 26(4)(b), (M),
(c), (cc) and (d) on his retirement be granted in respect of his service
(a)an annual allowance or gratuity in respect of his aggregate
service as a monthly paid officer under regulation 26:
Provided that regulation 18 shall be applied as though the
words 'date of the final termination of his service as a monthly
paid officer' were substituted for the words 'date of his
retirement' wherever they appear in the said regulation; and
(b)if his total service under the Government is not less than 5
years a gratuity in respect of his aggregate service as a daily
paid employee under regulation 27 as though the words 'time
of the final termination of his service as a daily paid employee'
were substituted for the words 'time of his retirement in the
said regulation; or, if he so elects, in lieu of such gratuity his
continuous daily paid service prior to a transfer to monthly paid
service shall be deemed to be monthly paid service for the
purpose of calculating an annual allowance or gratuity under
sub-paragraph (a).
(2) For the purposes of this regulation-
'continuous daily paid service' includes 2 or more periods of service
only if they are separated by a period or periods of monthly paid
service;
'daily paid service' includes any period of absence from duty in
such circumstances as may be approved by the Governor.
29. (1) Where no gratuity can be granted under section 17 of the
Ordinance in respect of a non-pensionable officer who dies while in the
service under the Government and
(a) who has completed 2 years unbroken service; or
(b)whose death was caused in the discharge of his duty or as a
direct result of injuries received whilst on duty or by illness
specifically attributable to the nature of his duties,
a gratuity may be granted under this regulation to his legal personal
representative, or where it does not exceed such amount as may be
determined by the Governor, to such person as the Governor shall name
as the recipient.
(1A) In respect of an officer who has more than one period of
continuous service, a gratuity shall be granted under paragraph (1) in
respect of each period of continuous service; but the total sum of the
gratuities granted in respect of more than one period of continuous
service shall not exceed the sum of the gratuity that would have been
granted had the officer's period of service been continuous and had his
highest salary or notional highest salary in respect of his previous
period of service, whichever is the greater, been taken for the calculation
of the gratuity, less any pension, gratuity or allowance already paid or
payable to him but excluding any additional pension granted under
regulation 31.
(2) A gratuity granted under paragraph (1) shall be of an amount to
be determined by the Governor but shall not exceed
(a) if the officer was paid monthly-
(i) 9 months' salary; or
(ii) the commuted annual allowance gratuity, if any, or where
appropriate the commuted annual allowance gratuity
supplemented in accordance with paragraph (2A),
whichever is the greater; and
(b) if the officer was paid daily, 180 days' pay.
(2A) In the case of an officer whose period of service under the
Government is
(a) not less than 5 nor more than 20 years; or
(b)more than 20 years but whose period of service to be taken
into account in computing an award under regulation 26(1) is
less than 20 years,
the commuted annual allowance gratuity, if any, may be supplemented
by deeming his period of service to be taken into account in computing
an award under regulation 26(1) to be twice his actual period of service
to be taken into account in computing such award (subject to a maximum
of 20 years) or the period of such service he would have completed if he
had served until attaining the age of 55 years, whichever is the lesser,
but an officer who has been granted a deemed increase of service under
this paragraph in respect of his previous period of service shall only be
eligible for a further deemed increase of service for any subsequent
period of service to the extent that the total deemed increase of service
does not exceed the maximum deemed increase of service specified in
this paragraph:
Provided that this paragraph shall not apply in the case of a
computation of a gratuity where the officer's service to be so taken into
account has already been deemed under regulation 26(9) to be twice his
actual period of such service or the period of such service he would
have completed if he had served until attaining the age of 55 years.
(2AA) In computing a deceased officer's commuted annual
allowance gratuity for the purposes of paragraph (2)
(a)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 made;
(b)notwithstanding sub-paragraph (a), for the purpose of
determining an officer's annual salary, his service shall be
deemed to have ended on the date of his death.
(2B) For the purpose of supplementing under paragraph (2), (2A) or
(6) the commuted annual allowance gratuity of an officer to whom such
paragraph applies, where appropriate his continuous
daily paid service prior to transfer to monthly paid service shall be
deemed to be monthly paid service as if he had so elected under
regulation 28(1)(b).
(3) A gratuity granted under paragraph (1) to the legal personal
representative shall form part of the estate of the officer for the purposes
of distribution but, nevertheless, no estate duty shall be payable in
respect thereof, and this addition to the principal value of the estate shall
not be taken into account for the purpose of increasing the rate at which
estate duty on the remainder of the estate may be payable.
(4) In this regulation 'commuted annual allowance gratuity' means
the maximum gratuity, if any, which might have been granted to the
officer under regulation 26(5) if he had retired at the date of his death in
the circumstances described in paragraph (4)(a) and (e) of that regulation
and had elected to receive a gratuity and a reduced annual allowance.
(5) For the purposes of computing 9 months' salary of an officer
under paragraph (2), the highest monthly salary enjoyed or drawn by
him in the course of any particular period of continuous service only
shall be taken into account for computing the amount for that period;
but, where an officer is serving on trial or probation in an office
immediately following service other than on trial or probation, the
highest monthly salary which the officer would have enjoyed or drawn
in his substantive rank at the date of his retirement or death shall be
taken into account.
(6) Where an officer dies after retirement from service under the
Government having been granted, or having become eligible for, an
annual allowance under regulation 26 and the sums paid or payable at the
date of his death on account of such annual allowance, including any
sum awarded by way of gratuity under regulation 26 but excluding any
additional pension awarded in accordance with the provisions of
regulation 31(2) are in total, less than the amount of 9 months' salary, or
his commuted annual allowance gratuity, if any, or where appropriate the
commuted annual allowance gratuity supplemented in accordance with
paragraph (2A), whichever is the greater, the Governor may grant a
gratuity equal to the deficiency to the officer's legal personal
representative or, where that gratuity does not exceed such amount as
may be determined by the Governor, to such person as the Governor
shall name as the recipient.
30. The provisions of section 9 of the Ordinance shall apply to
annual allowances under this Part as though the words 'annual
allowance' were substituted for the word 'pension' except where the
word 'pension' relates to an additional pension and as though the word
'salary' was substituted for 'pensionable emoluments' wherever such
word or words may appear, and as though the words 'regulation
26(4)(c), (cc) or (d)' were substituted for the words 'section 6(c), (d) or
(e)'.

33. Where a European matron or a European nursing-sister has
been employed in other public service as a qualified nursingsister or
matron, which employment was obtained by or through the Overseas

of the Governor is ultimate retirement on account of infirmity of mind or
body, or which is from a Colony in which the age of voluntary retirement
is less than 50 years, no such allowance shall be payable until the matron
or nursing-sister attains the age of 50 years; and provided further that
