Salary to be taken for computation of pensions

(1) For the purpose of computing the amount of a teacher’s pension or gratuity “final pensionable emoluments” means, (a) in the case of a teacher who has held the same appointment for a period of three years immediately preceding the date of retirement, the full annual salary enjoyed by him at that date in respect of that office; (b) in the case of a teacher who at any time during such period of three years has been transferred from one appointment to another, but whose salary has not been changed by reason of such transfer or transfers, the full annual salary enjoyed by him at the date of his retirement in respect of the appointment then held by him; (c) in other cases one-third of the aggregate salary enjoyed by the teacher in respect of his service during the three years of his service immediately preceding the date of his retirement, provided that, (i) if such one-third is less than the highest annual salary enjoyed by him at the date of any transfer within such period of three years that salary shall be taken; and (ii) if such one-third is less than the annual salary which would have been enjoyed by him at the date of his retirement if he had continued to hold any appointment from which he has been transferred at any time during such period of three years, and has received all increments which, in the opinion of the Governor-General, 11 would have been granted to him, the annual salary which would have been enjoyed shall be taken. (2) For the purpose of calculating salary under this section, the teacher shall be deemed to have served on full salary throughout the said three years. (3) Where the teacher is not teaching in a designated school at the time of such retirement his final pensionable emoluments for the purposes of this section shall be those which would have been taken for the purpose of computing his pension if he retired from such teaching service and had been granted a pension at the date of his last transfer from such teaching service.
