2. Subject to paragraphs 3 and 4, the arrangements for the transfer (in this Schedule called “the arrangements") must contain provision that the earner’s earnings factors which are attributable to any particular period of service, or the weekly equivalent derived therefrom, will be increased at the same rate under the receiving scheme as that at which they or it would have fallen to be increased under the transferring scheme if—
(a)his service in contracted-out employment by reference to the transferring scheme had been terminated; but
(b)the transfer had not taken place.
3. If the weekly equivalent derived from the earnings factors which are attributable to any particular period of service was not, before the transfer, affected by a provision made, or a provision analogous to one made, under section 16(2) and (3) of the 1993 Act, the arrangements may contain a provision analogous to one made under section 16(2) and (3) in relation to it.
4. If the weekly equivalent derived from the earnings factors which are attributable to any particular period of service was, before the transfer, affected by a provision made, or a provision analogous to one made, under section 16(2) and (3) of the 1993 Act, the arrangements may contain a provision that those earnings factors will be increased under the receiving scheme at the same rate as that at which they would have fallen to be increased if—
(a)there had never been a provision made, or a provision analogous to one made; or
(b)in the case only of the first transfer of the rights in question, a different provision had been made
under section 16(2) and (3) relating to that weekly equivalent.
5. The receiving scheme must provide for pensions to be paid which are of at least equal value to the annuity which would have been payable by the transferring policy, had the transfer not taken place, in respect of the earner’s accrued rights to guaranteed minimum pensions.
6. The date of commencement of the pension the liability for which is transferred—
(a)if payable to the person who has become entitled to it, must be the date from which liability for payment is assumed by the receiving scheme; and
(b)if payable to [F1the widow, widower or surviving civil partner of that person], must be the same as it would have been under the provisions of the transferring scheme
and the receiving scheme must contain the same provision (if any) for suspension and forfeiture of that pension as for guaranteed minimum pensions provided by the receiving scheme in accordance with section 13 or (as the case may be) 17 of the 1993 Act.
