3(1)Where a policy is issued or a contract is made by a registered friendly society or a policy to which paragraph 2 above applies is issued by an industrial assurance company, section 266(4), (5) and (8) shall apply in relation to premiums payable under the policy or contract subject to the following provisions of this paragraph.
(2)References to the deductions authorised under section 266(5) shall be construed as including references to any amount retained by or refunded to the person paying the premium under any scheme made by the society or company in accordance with regulations made under this paragraph.
(3)The appropriate authority may make regulations authorising—
(a)the adoption by registered friendly societies and industrial assurance companies of any prescribed scheme for securing that in the case of policies or contracts to which the scheme applies amounts equal to 15 per cent. of the premiums payable are retained by or refunded to the person paying the premiums or that, in the case of such policies or contracts issued or made before 6th April 1979, the amounts expressed as the amounts of the premiums payable are treated as amounts arrived at by deducting 15 per cent. from the amounts payable and that the amounts of the capital sums assured or guaranteed are treated as correspondingly increased; or
(b)the adoption by any such society or company of any special scheme for that purpose which may, in such circumstances as may be prescribed, be approved by the appropriate authority.
(4)Increases treated as made in pursuance of regulations under this paragraph shall not be treated as variations of a policy or contract and shall be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph 2(3) above, sections 268(6), 460, 461(1) and 464 of, and paragraph 7 of Schedule 15 to, this Act and section 100 of the [1891 c. 39.] Stamp Act 1891 and the heading “Policy of Life Insurance” in Schedule 1 to that Act.

(6)Subsections (4), (5) and (7) to (11) of section 6 of the [1969 c. 19.] Decimal Currency Act 1969 shall, with the necessary modifications, apply in relation to regulations made under this paragraph.
