but in calculating the amount of pension, regard shall be had only to service in the group.18.Gratuities where length of service does not qualify for pensionWhere an officer to whom this Part applies retires from the public service in circumstances in which he or she is permitted by the law or regulations of the service in which he or she is last employed to retire on pension or gratuity, but has not been in the public service in a civil capacity for ten years, he or she may, subject, in the case of retirement from superannuated service under the Federated Superannuation System or a similar scheme, to the proviso to section 10(1)(b) of the Act, be granted in respect of his or her service under the Government a gratuity not exceeding five times the annual amount of the pension which, if there had been no qualifying period, might have been granted to him or her under regulation 15, 16 or 17, as the case may be;
