13.—(1) A Member who was in post on both 30 November 1971 and 1 December 1971 and not having retired at or after age 60 on or before 30 November 1971 may have elected to pay to the Fund the contributions due in respect of that Member’s RMPP Reckonable Service before that Member joined the contributory part of the RMPP in accordance with “Plan M” under General Rule 23 (Plan M) of the RMPP Rules. Such contributions were required to be paid to the Fund either (a) in full in one amount, or (b) payment were required to have been made over a minimum of 5 years, or until age 60 if this is earlier, with a maximum of 25 years for such payment, and subject to the limits on contributions in paragraph 7(c) of Schedule 13 (Overriding Finance Act Provisions) to the RMPP Rules.
(2) The amounts due to the Fund were required to be paid in full by age 60 unless the limits on contributions in paragraph 7(c) of Schedule 13 (Overriding Finance Act Provisions) to the RMPP Rules precluded this. The lump sum or death benefit (as the case may be) under the RMSPS of a Member who had not paid in full by the end of the Cut-Off Date will be reduced by the amount (if any) which the Secretary of State calculates to be outstanding.
(3) If a Member ceased to have a spouse before he or she joined the contributory part of the RMPP and that Member did not remarry, the amount due to the RMPP would have been recalculated by the RMPP Trustees to the date when that Member last had a spouse before joining the contributory part of the RMPP. The difference (if any) between the amount paid to the Fund by the Member and the amount due on such recalculation will be refunded to the Member with Interest on that Member’s retirement under the RMSPS, provided that if the Member was serving in the designated category of service similar to service in Civil Service in an unestablished capacity on the date that Member joined the contributory part of the RMPP or the 1 June 1972, whichever is the earlier, and that Member ceased to have a spouse before that date and that Member did not remarry before retirement, no contributions would have been payable and any amount paid to the Fund by the Member shall be refunded to that Member with Interest on that Member’s retirement under the RMSPS.
(4) A Member who never had a spouse before joining the contributory part of the RMPP and who did not marry before the end of the Cut-Off Date will be entitled to a refund of contributions with Interest on that Member’s retirement under the RMSPS.
