Section 25
Withdrawals
of National Retirement Scheme Act
(1)
On an application for the withdrawal of the sum of money standing to the credit of a member by a person entitled thereto under section 24, the Board may authorise the payment to the applicant of such sum as the member is entitled to withdraw from the Scheme and any dividend calculated in accordance with section 13 up to the date of the authorisation:
Provided that when —
(a)
any contribution is due to be paid for a member in respect of any period ending not later than the last day of the month next following the date on which the withdrawal of the sum of money standing to his credit in the Scheme is authorised; and
(b)
the contributions are not paid to the Scheme until after the date of authorisation, the contributions may, in the discretion of the Board, be treated as if they had been included in the amount standing to the credit of the member at the date of authorisation of withdrawal and paid to the applicant accordingly.
(2)
All applications for withdrawal shall be supported by such evidence as may be prescribed and by such further evidence as the Board may reasonably require.
