Where a man entitled to an ordinary pension was, immediately before he retired, paying additional or further contributions in pursuance of an election under Article 52(2) or (3) of the 1973 Scheme, the annual amount of the ordinary pension shall, for the appropriate period, be reduced by the annual amount of those contributions immediately before his retirement, calculated by reference to his pensionable pay at that time.

The appropriate period is that for which the contributions would have remained payable had the man not retired.

No account shall be taken of any reduction under this paragraph for the purpose of calculating any other reduction in the pension under this Scheme.
