retirement allowance consisting of the annuity resulting from the member's regular
contributions and the pension determined in accordance with paragraphs (b) and
(c) above is less than one-sixtieth of average final compensation for each year of
creditable service, an additional pension equal to the difference between such
allowance shall be payable; except that as to any such member who contributed on
the basis of retirement at age 65 under the provisions of § 14 (1) (b), and as to any
elected or appointed official or employee who waived the payment of such
contributions as provided in § § 3 (5) and 9 (7). and any member who elects to
discontinue contributions in accordance with the provisions of § 14 (1) (b), the
additional pension so provided herein shall be reduced by the actuarial equivalent
of those contributions which he had not paid, with interest to date of retirement:
provided, that if the member who has not attained the age of sixty at the time of
retirement has rendered less than thirty-five years of creditable service, the
additional pension equal to the difference between such allowance shall be reduced
on an actuarial equivalent basis, unless the member has attained the age of
fifty-five and has rendered at least thirty years of creditable service.
