| (1.) | Within the prescribed period before the commencement of each such year the pensioner, whether claiming any payment in respect of his pension for that year or not, shall furnish to the Deputy Registrar a statement in the prescribed form setting forth full particulars of his income for such year (being the income for the last-preceding income-year), and also the net capital value of all his accumulated property. |
| (2.) | If the pensioner has received no income for the year and has no accumulated property, the statement shall contain the word "Nil." |
| (3.) | The Stipendiary Magistrate shall investigate the statement, and shall ascertain whether the conditions of section eight hereof have been complied with, in the same manner, with the same powers, and subject to the same provisions as in the case of pension-claims. |

Issue of pension-certificate for year. The Stipendiary Magistrate, when satisfied as to the amount of the pensioner's income, and the net capital value of his accumulated property, and that the conditions of section eight hereof have been complied with, shall certify the same to the Deputy Registrar, who shall enter the same in the page 8.gif) Old-age Pension Register, and issue a pension-certificate in the prescribed form in respect of the year's pension (if any) to which the pensioner is entitled:
Provided that, in lieu of himself issuing such certificate to the pensioner, the Deputy Registrar shall forward it to the Postmaster of the post-office where the pension is payable, and the Postmaster shall issue it to the pensioner in exchange for the outstanding pension-certificate.
