Part III.—Miscellaneous.

Interpretation.

70. In this Part, expressions defined by the Principal Act as amended by this Act have the same respective meanings as they have in the Principal Act as so amended.

Date from which increased contributions payable.

71. Any increased contribution payable by a contributor who, upon the commencement of this section, is required by reason of the operation of sub-section (2.) of section twenty of the Principal Act as amended by this Act to contribute for one or more additional units of pension is payable as from the seventeenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine.

Transitional provisions.

72.—(1.) Subject to this section, the number of units of pension for which a contributor would, upon the commencement of this section, be required to contribute, having regard to subsection (2.) of section twenty of the Principal Act as amended by this Act but disregarding sub-section (5.) of that section, shall be reduced by the number of units of pension (if any) by which the number of units of pension ascertained in accordance with sub-section (1.) of section thirteen of the Principal Act having regard to the salary group in which his salary fell immediately before the commencement of this section exceeds the number of units of pension for which he was then a contributor.

(2.) Where, upon the date of commencement of this section, a contributor who had, on or before that date, attained the age of forty years would, but for this sub-section, be required to contribute for one or more additional units of pension, he may, within six months after that date, elect not to contribute for all or any of those additional units of pension.

(3.) Where a contributor—

(a)is entitled to elect under the last preceding sub-section but does not so elect; or

(b)is a contributor whose salary immediately before the commencement of this section did not exceed One thousand three hundred and sixty-five pounds per annum,

and the number of units of pension for which he is required to contribute is reduced under sub-section (1.) of this section, he may, within twelve months after the commencement of this section, elect to contribute for one or more additional units of pension not exceeding the number of units of pension by which the first-mentioned number of units of pension is so reduced.

(4.) An election under the last preceding sub-section does not have effect unless, within six months after the date of the election, the contributor satisfies the Board that he is not suffering

 

from any physical or mental defect (not being a defect which, in the opinion of the Board, is the result of the service of the contributor as a member of the Forces as defined by subsection (2.) of section one hundred and forty-seven of the Superannuation Act 1922-1959) likely to render him incapable of performing his duties before attaining the maximum age for retirement.

(5.) Any increased contribution payable by reason of an election under sub-section (3.) of this section is payable as from the date of the election, but where that date is not a pay-day, the increased contribution is payable as from the next following pay-day.

(6.) Where a contributor who had attained the age of forty years before the date of commencement of this section is retired before the first day of January, One thousand nine hundred and sixty-five, on the ground of invalidity or physical or mental incapacity to perform his duties, or dies before that date, the Commonwealth shall pay to the Fund the amount of any pension becoming payable in respect of any additional units of pension for which the contributor became liable to contribute on the commencement of this section, but not including any units of pension for which he elected to contribute under sub-section (3.) of this section, less so much of the pension in respect of those additional units of pension as is equivalent to the contributions made by him in respect of those units, and the Consolidated Revenue Fund is appropriated accordingly.

(7.) For the purposes of this section, where a contributor’s salary is increased with effect from the commencement of this section, that salary shall be deemed to have been increased after the commencement of this section.

(8.) Nothing in this section operates so as to prevent an alteration in the number of units of pension for which, under the Principal Act as amended by this Act, a contributor is required or permitted to contribute, being an alteration that commences to have effect at a time after the commencement of this section.

Deferment of contributions.

73.—(1.) For the purposes of this section—

(a)“excepted contributions”, in relation to a person, means—

(i) contributions for reserve units of pension;

(ii) that portion (if any) of his contributions under section twenty-six of the Principal Act as amended by this Act as is in respect of reserve units of pension;

(iii) contributions for units of pension for which he elected to contribute under sub-section (3.) of the last preceding section; and

 

(iv) contributions for units of pension for which he is required or permitted to contribute as the result of an increase in his salary on or after the fourteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine; and

(b)the annual salary of a contributor shall be ascertained as provided by sub-section (2.) of section thirty-six of the Principal Act as amended by this Act.

(2.) Where—

(a)a person who was a contributor on the fourteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine—

(i) was, on that date, not less than fifty-seven years of age; or

(ii) in the case of a contributor for or in respect of units of pension (including units of pension the obligation to contribute for which arose on that date) all of which are based on a retiring age of sixty years—was, on that date, not less than fifty-two years of age;

(b)the rate of that person’s contributions to the Fund (excluding excepted contributions) exceeds the rate of his contributions to the Fund (including contributions for reserve units of pension) as at the thirteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine; and

(c) the fortnightly amount of his contributions to the Fund (excluding excepted contributions) exceeds one-two hundred and sixtieth of his annual salary as at the thirteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine,

the Board may, on application by the contributor not later than the thirteenth day of June, One thousand nine hundred and sixty, enter into an agreement with the contributor under this section.

(3.) An agreement under this section—

(a)shall provide that payment of contributions (not being excepted contributions) for or in respect of units of pension (including a fraction of a unit of pension) specified in the agreement shall be deferred;

(b)shall provide for the payment of compound interest at a rate determined by or in accordance with the agreement upon contributions the payment of which is so deferred;

(c) shall provide that contributions the payment of which is so deferred, and the interest upon those contributions,

 

or so much of those contributions and of that interest as has not previously been paid, shall become payable by the contributor within one month after he ceases to be an employee or within such further period as the Board allows;

(d)shall provide that, if an amount so payable is not paid, the rate of any pension payable to or in respect of the contributor (not being a pension payable in respect of a child) shall be reduced as provided by or under the agreement, having regard to the amount not paid;

(e)shall provide means of recovering any such amount in the event of the death, resignation, dismissal or discharge of the contributor in such circumstances that no pension (not being a pension payable in respect of a child) becomes payable to or in respect of the contributor; and

(f) may contain such incidental and supplementary provisions as are agreed upon between the Board and the contributor.

(4.) An agreement under this section shall not be made so as to reduce the amount of the fortnightly payment of contributions by the contributor to an amount less than one-two hundred and sixtieth part of his annual salary as at the thirteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine, or to less than the amount of the fortnightly payment of contributions by the contributor (including contributions for reserve units of pension) as at that date, whichever is the higher.

(5.) The provisions of an agreement under this section have effect according to their tenor notwithstanding anything contained in the Principal Act as amended by this Act.

Certain existing widows’ pensions to be increased.

74.—(1.) Subject to this section, the rate of pension payable to a widow (being a pension to which she became entitled on or before the fourteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine)—

(a) under the Principal Act and as increased by any other Act; and

(b) by reason of the enactment of—

(i) sub-section (1.) of section eight of the Superannuation Act 1948; or

(ii) sub-section (2.) of section nine or sub-section (2.) of section fourteen of the Superannuation Act (No. 2) 1956,

is increased by one-quarter.

 

(2.) The increase in the rate of a pension under the last preceding sub-section has effect as from the fortnightly payment of pensions that was made on the fifteenth day of October, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine, or as from the date from which the pension became payable, whichever is the later.

(3.) Where, as at the second day of October, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine, a portion of a pension payable to a widow is cancelled under sub-section (3.) of section fifty a of the Principal Act, this section has effect to increase the rate of the pension as though that portion of the pension had not been so cancelled, but, if the widow continues to be an employee on and after that date, that sub-section has effect in accordance with its tenor in relation to the rate of her pension to and including the thirteenth day of December, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine, and sub-section (3.) of section sixty-six of the Principal Act as amended by this Act has effect in accordance with its tenor in relation to the rate of her pension after the latter date.

(4.) The Commonwealth shall pay to the Fund the amounts by which pensions are increased by virtue of this section, and the Consolidated Revenue Fund is appropriated accordingly.

(5.) Where an amount is paid by the Commonwealth under this section to the Fund in respect of a widow whose husband was employed by an approved authority, the approved authority shall pay to the Commonwealth the amount so paid and may apply for that purpose any moneys under the control of the approved authority.

(6.) This section does not apply in relation to—

(a)a pension payable in respect of a child;

(b)a pension under section fifty-three of the Principal Act;

(c) a pension under section fifty-seven of the Principal Act, not being a pension for which contributions were made to a State Fund as defined by section sixty an of the Principal Act; or

(d)a pension under section fifty-eight of the Principal Act.

Pensions payable to certain persons under Schedule to Superannuation Act 1957.

75. Section twelve of the Superannuation Act 1957 is amended by omitting from paragraph (b)of sub-section (5.) the word “one-half” and inserting in its stead the word “five-eighths”.

 

Schedule to Superannuation Act 1957.
