C6.—(1) A whole-time manual worker who becomes a pensionable employee by virtue of regulation B1(3)(c) may make a payment into the fund in order to become entitled under regulation D9 to reckon as reckonable service in relation to the employment in which he is a pensionable employee the period during which he was in that employment before becoming a pensionable employee.

(2) The amount of a payment under paragraph (1) is an amount equal to the contributions which the person would have been required to make under regulation C1 if he had throughout the period been a pensionable employee.

(3) A payment under paragraph (1) is to be made, unless the Committee allow a longer period, within 6 months after the date on which the person became a pensionable employee.

(4) A payment under paragraph (1) is to be treated for the purposes of these regulations as if it consisted of contributions made under regulation C1 in respect of employment in which the person was a pensionable employee.
