Section 8: Pension to run for five years after death within five years of retirement.

Where a personnel dies within five years after retirement, his next of kin shall continue to be paid, for a period which shall expire at the end of five years from the date of his retirement, the same pension which the deceased personnel was receiving prior to his death, but if the next of kin so elects, the balance of the pension at death may be paid immediately to the said next of kin.
