Emoluments on which to base computation of pensions, etc

For the purpose of computing the amount of an officer’s (a) in the case of an officer who has held one office for a period of three years immediately preceding the date of his retirement, the full pensionable emoluments payable to him at that date in respect of that office shall be taken; (b) in the case of an officer who at any time during such period of three years has been transferred from one office to another, but whose pensionable emoluments have not been changed by reason of such transfer or transfers, the full pensionable emoluments payable to him at the date of his retirement in respect of the office held by him shall be taken; (c) in other cases the average of the full pensionable emoluments payable in respect of each of the offices substantively held by the officer during his tenure thereof within such period of three years shall be taken, provided that if such average is less than the full pensionable emoluments which were payable to him at the date of the first transfer within such period of three years, the Council may grant him a pension calculated upon the full pensionable emoluments payable to him at that date. 38
