(1) Subject to paragraph (3) and article D3, there shall be deducted from each payment in respect of salary made to a participant 6% of that payment; and all sums so deducted shall be paid into the Fund.
(2) In this article, “salary” means–
(a) in the case of a participating member who is not a participating office holder, his member’s salary;
(b) in the case of a participating office holder who is not a participating member, his office holder’s salary; and
(c) in the case of a participant who is both a participating member and a participating office holder, his member’s salary and his office holder’s salary.
(3) Where a person’s aggregate period of reckonable service as a participating member exceeds that which would give rise to the maximum pension allowed in respect of that person as a participating member under article F4 or F5, no deduction shall be made under this article from payments in respect of his member’s salary.
(4) If any salary from which a deduction is required to be made under this article is not drawn, there shall be set aside, out of moneys available for the payment, a sum equal to the relevant deduction; and any sum so set aside shall be paid into the Fund.
