The Public Service's superannuation scheme is one of the most liberal. It is compulsory for those Joining the Service between the ages of 17 and 25. An employee joining the scheme before the age of 30 pays five per cent of his income. This contribution is free of income tax. On retiring after 40 years of contributing to the superannuation scheme he receives an income for life equivalent to about two-thirds of his salary for the last five years.
