  3. (c) of any moneys required to make good income tax for which relief has not other wise been given which is deducted under the law of India or the law of Burma from any such pensions as may be specified in the said Act of the present Session;
  4. (d) of any increase of any pension and any increase in the administrative expenses of any Minister attributable to the application or extended application, with or without adaptation or modification, of any provisions of the Pensions (Increase) Acts, 1944 and 1947, the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1952, the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1954, or the Superannuation Act, 1949, to such pensions or persons as may be specified in the said Act of the present Session,
and the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament, or out of the Consolidated Fund, or into the Exchequer, of any moneys falling to be paid therefrom or thereto by reason of the application of sections six and eight of the Pensions Commutation Act, 1871, to pensions commutations arising by virtue of the said Act of the present Session.—[Mr. H. Brooke.]
