(Cap. 99, section 35)
[1 July 1987.]
PART I
PRELIMINARY
1. These regulations may be cited as the Pension Benefits
Regulations.
2. In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires
'Category A officer' means an officer who is appointed to an
established office and who is confirmed in an established office at
the time of his retirement or resignation from the service;
'Category B officer' means an officer who is
(a)holding a non-established office at the time of his retirement or
resignation from the service; or
(b)holding an established office at the time of his retirement or
resignation from the service and who is not confirmed in an
established office;
'month' means a complete month, and any incomplete month 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.
PART II
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 who is 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 benefits, and the amount of the pension
benefits for which he would have been eligible, if his service had been
wholly under the Government.
4. Subject to section 21 of the Ordinance, the factor for the
computation of pension on retirement in the circumstances specified in
sections 11, 12 and 14 of the Ordinance shall be
(a) in the case of-
(i) a Category A officer or Category B officer who is
appointed or re-appointed to service under the Government on
or after 1 July 1987; or
(ii) a Category A officer who is appointed or re-
appointed to service under the Government before 1 July
1987, and who is an officer who has opted, or who is
deemed to have opted, under section 9 of the Ordinance,
1/675 of his highest pensionable emoluments for each
month of his pensionable service; and
(b)in the case of a Category B officer who is appointed or
re-appointed to service under the Government before 1
July 1987, and who is an officer who has opted, or who is
deemed to have opted, under section 9 of the Ordinance-
(i) 1/800 of his highest pensionable emoluments for
each month of his pensionable service before 1 April 1987;
and
(ii) 1/675 of his highest pensionable emoluments for
each month of his pensionable service after 31 March 1987.
5. The rate of short service gratuity granted to an officer
under section 32 of the Ordinance shall be an amount not exceeding
7 times the annual amount of the pension which, if there had been no
requirement for a period of qualifying service, would have been
granted to him at the factor prescribed in regulation 4.
PART III
TRANSFERRED OFFICERS
6. This Part shall apply only in the case of an officer who is
transferred to or from service under the Government from or to
other public service.
7. (1) In this Part and Part IV-
'Scheduled Government' means the Government of any country or
territory, or any authority, mentioned in the Schedule;
'service in the Group' means service under the Government and
under a Scheduled Government or Scheduled Governments.
(2) 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
Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland until his employ-
ment on secondment was 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 1963.
(3) 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.
8. (1) Where the other public service of an officer to whom this Part
applies has been wholly under one or more Scheduled Governments, 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 16-
(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 sub-sub-paragraph (i) exceeds the
pensionable emoluments enjoyed or drawn by him in the
service under the Government, or the pensionable emoluments
enjoyed by him in the service under a Scheduled Government,
as the case may be, at the date of his retirement or transfer,
there shall be taken such pensionable emoluments;
(b)no regard shall be had to any additional pension granted
under section 15 or 16 of the Ordinance;
(c)regard shall be had to the provision in section 21(1) of the
Ordinance that pension shall not exceed two-thirds of his
highest pensionable emoluments; and
(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 his attaining 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.
9. (1) Where the other public service of an officer to whom
this Part applies has not included service under any 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 the
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 rate of 1/675 of his highest pensionable emoluments
for each month of his pensionable service under the Government.
(2) Where the officer is not in the service under the Government
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 had been granted a pension at the date of
his last transfer from service under the Government.
10. Where a part only of the other public service of an officer
to whom this Part applies has been under one or more Scheduled
Governments, the provisions of regulation 8 shall apply; but in
calculating the amount of pension regard shall be had only to service
in the Group.
11. The rate of short service gratuity granted to an officer
under section 32 of the Ordinance to whom this Part applies and
who 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 shall be an amount not
exceeding 7 times the annual amount of the pension which, if there
had been no requirement for a period of qualifying service, would
have been granted to him under regulation 8, 9 or 10, as the case may
be.
12. A deferred pension granted to an officer in respect of
service within the Group shall be computed in accordance with
regulation 8, 9 or 10, as the case may be.
PARTIV
GENERAL
13. (1) Subject to 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
public service, without deduction of any period during which he has
been absent on leave.
(2) Only service under the Government shall be taken into
account as qualifying service in respect of an officer, other than an
officer who is transferred to or from service under the Government
from or to other public service.
(3) No period which is not qualifying service shall be taken
into account as pensionable service.
(4) No period during which an officer was not in the public
service shall be taken into account as qualifying service and
pensionable service.
(5) Any period during which an officer, who is in the public
service, is seconded to service which is not public service may, with
the approval of the Governor, be counted as qualifying service and
pensionable service.
14. (1) Except as otherwise provided in these regulations,
only continuous service shall be taken into account as qualifying
service or as pensionable service.
(2) Where an officer has more than one period of pensionable
service, every such period shall be taken into account separately for
the purposes of computing pension benefits.
15. Where an officer, including a serving officer, has served with
Her Majesty's Forces in time of war and before so serving was
employed in public service the following provisions shall apply-
(a)during the period of such service with 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 his military service;
(b)during any period between his leaving public service for the
purpose of serving with Her Majesty's Forces and the date of
his commencing military service he shall, for the purposes of
the Ordinance and these regulations, be deemed to be on leave
without salary, 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 his 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 public 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 mentioned 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 his military service 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 his 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 an officer shall have
commenced his military service 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 his 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 and these regulations relating to injury or death
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 other-
wise directs, this regulation shall not apply where the
office in the public service last held by the officer prior
to his military service was not an established office;
(vii)this regulation shall not apply to an officer who has
received a pension or gratuity during a period of his
military service in respect of public service prior to joining
the military service.
16. (1) Subject to this regulation, for computing the amount
of the pension benefits of an officer, the highest pensionable emolu-
ments enjoyed or drawn by him in the course of his public service
shall be taken into account:
Provided that if, by reason of any order made in any dis-
ciplinary proceedings against an officer, the amount to be taken
in accordance with the provisions of this regulation exceeds the
pensionable emoluments enjoyed or drawn by him at the date of his
retirement or resignation, as the case may be, there shall be taken
such pensionable emoluments.
(2) 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
benefits for that period.
(3) Where an officer is serving on trial or on probation in an
office immediately following public service other than on trial or
probation, the highest pensionable emoluments which the officer
would have enjoyed or drawn in his substantive office shall be taken
into account for computing the amount of the pension benefits in
respect of such service.
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), any increase in the pen-
sionable 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-
(a)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);
(b)the officer retires in one of the cases referred to in section
11 (1)(d), (g) or (h) of the Ordinance; or
(c) the Governor in any case otherwise directs.
(5) In the case of a serving officer who has further opted under
section 8(3) of the Ordinance that 100 per cent of his substantive
salary, special allowance and expatriation pay shall be taken as
pensionable emoluments under the Ordinance-
(a)the highest pensionable emoluments specified in section
22(b)(i) of the Ordinance shall be taken into account for
computing the pension benefits for the period of his service
prior to the material date; and
(b)the highest pensionable emoluments specified in section
22(b)(ii) of the Ordinance shall be taken into account for
computing the pension benefits for the period of his service
from the material date.
(6) For the purposes of paragraph (5), 'material date' means a date
to be determined in accordance with the terms of a Circular issued by
the Secretary for the Civil Service under this regulation.
17. (1) Subject to any option exercised under section 8(1) of the
Ordinance and to these regulations, only service in an office the terms
of appointment of which attracts pension benefits shall be taken into
account as pensionable service.
(2) Where a Category A officer has a period of service in a non-
established office prior to 1 April 1987 and such service is immediately
followed by service in an established office and the officer is
subsequently confirmed in an established office, only 675/800 of such
service in the non-established office shall be taken into account as
pensionable service of a Category A officer; but where all the service of
an officer is in a non-established office after 31 March 1987 the whole of
such service shall be taken into account as pensionable service.
(3) Where an officer has been transferred from an established office
in which he has been confirmed to a non-established office and
subsequently retires or resigns, or is retired, as specified in section 11(1)
of the Ordinance, the whole service of such officer may be counted
(a) as pensionable service of a Category B officer; or
(b)as pensionable service of a Category A officer but at his
pensionable emoluments at the date of his transfer,
whichever yields the greater pension or short service gratuity.
(4) 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 the
Pensions Regulations,
the period of service prior to such retirement shall not be taken into
account as pensionable service.
(5) 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 675/800 of such period may, with the approval of the Governor,
be taken into account as pensionable service of a Category A officer.
(6) 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 of the Pensions
Regulations,
is subsequently re-appointed to 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
(i)an application to the contrary has been made within 6 months
of 17 November 1972;
(ii) there has been no break of service; and
(iii)the gratuity received has been refunded together with interest
at a rate to be determined by the Financial Secretary.
(7) 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 the
Pensions Regulations,
is without break in service subsequently re-appointed to service under
the Government, the period of service prior to such retirement shall be
taken into account as pensionable service.
18. (1) Subject to paragraph (2), in the case of an officer who retires
from the public service under section 1 1(1)(h) of the Ordinance and
whose period of qualifying service under the Government is
(a) not less than 5 nor more than 221 years; or
2
(b) more than 221 years but whose pensionable service is less
2
than 22 years,

maximum of 221 years; or
(ii)the period of pensionable service that he would have
completed if he had served until attaining the age of 60,
whichever is the lesser.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall apply in the case of an officer who is re-
appointed to service under the Government irrespective of the length of
qualifying service completed during such re-appointment,
but the deemed increase of pensionable service under that paragraph
shall be limited as provided in section 20(8) and (9) of the Ordinance.
19. (1) Subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), in the case of a
Scheduled officer who retires in accordance with an order made under
section 10(3) of the Ordinance on attaining, or after attaining, the age of

pro rata basis in accordance with a Circular issued by the Secretary for
the Civil Service.
(3) The total length of the pensionable service of a Scheduled
officer, after the addition of the deemed increase in his service in
accordance with paragraph (1) or (2), shall not exceed
(a)the period of pensionable service required for attaining
maximum pension; or
(b)the period of pensionable service that the Scheduled officer
would have completed if he had served until attaining the age
of 60 years,
whichever is the lesser.
(4) This regulation shall not apply to a Scheduled officer who
retires under section 11 (1)(1) of the Ordinance.
20. Where an officer has performed acting service in an office under
the Government the period of the acting service may be taken into
account as pensionable service (subject to regulation 17 if the acting
service is in a non-established office) if the period of the acting service
(a)is not taken into account as part of the officer's pensionable
service in other public service; and
(b)is immediately preceded or followed by service as the
substantive holder of an established office under the
Government.
21. (1) Save as otherwise provided in these regulations, there shall
not be taken into account as pensionable service any period of service
while an officer
(a)subject to paragraph (2), was under the age of 18 years,
whether as a Category A officer or Category B officer;
(b)was on agreement expressly providing for the payment of a
gratuity dependent upon the length of his service, unless he
has refunded the gratuity (if any) received in respect of that

payment of a gratuity, unless without break of service he is
confirmed in an established office;

(e)was absent from duty without salary, unless such absence
shall have been approved on grounds of public policy by the
Governor.
(2) Any period of service of a serving officer while the officer was
under the age of 18 years which would have been taken into account in

Ordinance shall be taken into account as pensionable service.
22. (1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the rate of additional
pension granted under section 16 of the Ordinance shall be
(a)in the case of a Category A officer, 10/675 of his highest
pensionable emoluments for each complete 3-year period of
his pensionable service;

emoluments; and
(iii) in respect of service after 1 April 1987, other than where

23. (1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (5), the annual rate of
additional pension granted under section 15(1) of the Ordinance to an
officer who is injured in the circumstances described in section 14 of the

at the date of his injury appropriate to his case as shown in the table in
this paragraph, whether his capacity to contribute to his own support
because of the injury is impaired before or after his retirement
Table
When the officer's capacity to contribute to his own support is
