Section 101AH Powers of trustees or managers where right not exercisedF1C1
This section applies where—
a member of an occupational pension scheme does not exercise a right acquired by him under section 101AB on or before the reply date or such later date as the trustees or managers of the scheme allow in his case under section 101AI(2), and
the trustees or managers of the scheme have notified the member as mentioned in section 101AC(5).
The trustees or managers may within a reasonable period beginning with—
the reply date, or
if a later date has been allowed as mentioned in subsection (1), that later date,
pay the contribution refund to the member.
When the trustees or managers have paid the contribution refund to the member—
they are discharged from any obligation in respect of any rights (including conditional rights) of, or in respect of, the member to relevant benefits under the applicable rules, and
if they are required under the applicable rules, or determine in accordance with those rules, to make any payment (“the refund payment”) by way of refund to or in respect of the member of, or in respect of—
the contributions, or any payment, mentioned in section 101AB(4), or
any other contributions made to the scheme, or any other scheme, in respect of the member (other than any pension credit or amount attributable (directly or indirectly) to a pension credit),
the amount of the contribution refund may be set off against the refund payment.
