Subject to this Act, where a contributor to the Provident Account retires or is retired on or after having attained the age of sixty years or where his services are terminated:

on the ground of invalidity; or

owing to retrenchment;

the contributions paid by him to the Provident Account; and

compound interest on those contributions at the prescribed rate.

Where the sum payable under subsection (1) is less than one‑half of the salary payable to a contributor to the Provident Account at the date of his retirement, the sum payable to the contributor to the Provident Account shall be a sum equal to one‑half of the salary payable to him at that date.

Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to a person who has become or becomes a contributor to the Provident Account after the commencement of the Superannuation Act 1946 and retires or is retired on or after reaching the age of sixty years.

Where a contributor to the Provident Account has been paid a sum under subsection (2) and he again becomes a contributor to the Provident Account, that subsection shall not apply to any subsequent payment to which he becomes entitled under this section.

This section does not apply to a contributor to the Provident Account who retires or is retired, or whose services are terminated, on or after 1 July 1976.
