Regulation 17 Repayment of contributions on withdrawal from the Scheme

Where a contributor leaves overseas service before attaining the pension age (otherwise than on medical grounds), he may elect at any time thereafter to receive a refund of the contributions which he has paid to the Scheme.

If a contributor elects to receive a refund of contributions under these Regulations he shall cease to rank for benefit under the Scheme as from the date of the receipt of his election.

Where a contributor is dismissed from overseas service whether before or after attaining the pension age, he shall not be entitled at any time thereafter to receive a fund of the contributions which he has paid to the Scheme, or any part thereof, unless the Minister so directs.
