Regulation 8

Any person (hereinafter referred to as an “officer on national service”) who is engaged in national service immediately before the prescribed date and who, if he had continued to be employed until the prescribed date in the capacity in which he was employed before becoming engaged in national service, would have been an existing officer, shall be deemed to be an existing officer within the meaning of these regulations, and if at the date on which he ceased to be so employed he was subject to a pension scheme, and his national service or any part thereof would be reckonable for the purposes of that scheme if he again became subject thereto on the termination of his national service, he shall also be deemed to be a pensionable officer within the meaning of these regulations.
