(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), where a person wishes to make a surrender he may within the relevant period notify his wish to surrender a part of that retirement pension by completing a copy of the form specified at the end of this Schedule or a form to the like effect, and sending it to the appropriate administering authority.
(2) In sub-paragraph (1) “the relevant period” in relation to a member or former member, means—
(a) in the case of a person who on ceasing to hold his employment becomes entitled to a retirement pension (in this Schedule referred to as “a retiring employee”) not more than 2 months before or within one month after the date on which he ceases to be employed; and
(b) in the case of a person who would, if he were to retire from his employment, become entitled to a retirement pension (in this Schedule referred to as “a continuing employee”), within 2 months before or at any time after becoming a continuing employee and while he is still employed.
(3) Where the appropriate administering authority are satisfied that it has not been reasonably practicable for a retiring employee to notify his wish to surrender a part of a retirement pension within the relevant period owing to circumstances beyond his control, they may extend that period to a date not more than six months after the date on which he ceases to be employed.
