• (a) if the pensionable service to the contributor’s credit includes pensionable service that was subject to a pensionable earnings election or an election made in relation to a period of service in the reserve force of a kind referred to in paragraph 12.2(1)(i), the contributor is considered to have opted, when making the election, to pay a lesser amount corresponding to the payments in respect of the election that were made or ought to have been made on or before the date of the option for the payment of a transfer value;

• (b) if the contributor has made a top-up election under section 14.2, the contributor is considered to have opted at the time of the election to pay a lesser amount corresponding to the payments in respect of the top-up election that were made or ought to have been made on or before the date of the option for the payment of a transfer value; and

• (c) if the top-up election was made in respect of pensionable service that came to the contributor’s credit under a pensionable earnings election, for the purposes of calculating the full amount referred to in paragraph 14.6(3)(b) in respect of the pensionable earnings election, the proportion referred to in the description of E in that paragraph is calculated on the basis that the contributor opted for a lesser amount, at the time of the pensionable earnings election, equal to the amount referred to in paragraph (a).
