30. Any public officer who is up to the appointed date employed for the purposes of the administration of the Tea Control Act, No. 51 of 1957, or of the Tea (Tax and Control of Export) Act, No. 16 of 1959, shall for the purposes of sub-section (2) of section 28 be entitled to have counted as pensionable service all such service in respect of which he was paid a gratuity by the Government, provided he pays or arrives at an agreement to pay to the Deputy Secretary to the Treasury all such sums of money as he may have received by way of such gratuity together with such interest as may be determined by the Deputy Secretary to the Treasury, notwithstanding the fact that in the year 1963 such public officer had exercised an irrevocable option to accept such gratuity and have only his service thereafter counted as pensionable. |
