Rules 261-310

Rule 308 limits a payment in commutation of an annuity to the commuted value of one-third of the annuity where the employee receives gratuity, and one-half otherwise, valued by age, health, interest rate and officially recognised mortality tables.

The rule. Any payment in commutation of an annuity shall not exceed (a) where the employee receives any gratuity, the commuted value of one-third of the annuity he is normally entitled to receive, and (b) in any other case, the commuted value of one-half of the annuity — the commuted value being determined having regard to the recipient's age, state of health, the rate of interest and officially recognised tables of mortality.
