N is the total number of months included in the contributor’s base contributory period or the following basic number, whichever is higher, depending on the benefit calculated:

(a)  for the retirement pension, the basic number of base contributory months of the contributor, which is 120 less the number of months excluded from his base contributory period under subparagraph a or b of the third paragraph of section 101;

(b)  for the disability pension, 24 months or, if the contributor’s disability date to qualify for the pension is prior to 1 July 1993, 60 months;

For the purpose of calculating the basic monthly amount of the retirement pension of a contributor 65 years of age or over, the average base monthly pensionable earnings correspond to the higher of the following amounts:

(a)  the amount calculated under the first paragraph; and

(b)  the amount calculated as provided in the first paragraph, but taking into account that the base contributory period is deemed terminated at the end of the month preceding the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday, multiplied by the ratio between the average Maximum Pensionable Earnings for the year in which the retirement pension becomes payable and the average Maximum Pensionable Earnings for the year of the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday.
