52. The Commission shall grant an annual retirement pension to every employee who applies for it and who(a) has attained 60 years of age; or
(b) has attained normal retirement age, namely, 65 years of age; or
(c) has, in years of age and years of service, including the years for which a paid-up annuity or pension credit has been redeemed, a combined total of 90 or more.

In the case contemplated in subparagraph c of the first paragraph, if the employee is under sixty years of age at his retirement, the pension is reduced for its term by 1/2 of 1%, computed for each month falling between the date on which the pension is granted and the date of the employee’s sixtieth birthday.
