Section 9

Except in cases provided for by subsection (2), a pension granted to an officer under this Act shall not exceed three-fourths of the highest pensionable emoluments drawn by him at any time in the course of his service under the Government.

An officer who has been granted a pension in respect of other public service shall not at any time draw from the funds of Brunei

Darussalam an amount of pension which, when added to the amount of any pension or pensions drawn in respect of other public service, exceed three-fourths of the highest pensionable emoluments drawn by him at any time in the course of his public service:

Provided that where an officer receives, in respect of some period of public service, both a gratuity and a pension, the amount of such pension shall be deemed for the purpose of this subsection to be what it would have been if part of it had not been commuted or, in the case of a pension granted under the Superannuation Acts of the United Kingdom, to be four-thirds of its actual amount.

Where the limitation prescribed by subsection (2) operates, the amount of the pension to be drawn from the funds of Brunei Darussalam shall be determined with due regard to the amount of any pension or pensions to be drawn in respect of other public service.
