Part VI of the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces (Protection of Civil Interests) Act, 1951, inter alia enables the owner of an industrial assurance policy or other life or endowment policy effected with a collecting friendly society to obtain protection for his policy, subject to certain conditions, if he is unable to pay the premiums thereon as a result of service, whether performed by the owner or by another, in the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces.

These Regulations provide for the procedure in connection with the making of applications to industrial assurance companies and collecting societies for such protection, with the grant or refusal of such applications, with appeals to the Commissioner against such refusals; and for other matters required for the purpose of giving full effect to the provisions of Part VI of the Act relating to the protection of the afore-mentioned policies.
