by his death, invalidity or physical or mental incapacity would have been, or would have included, benefits by way of a pension;
 (b) those benefits would have been the maximum benefits available under the scheme; and
 (c) the applicability of those maximum benefits would not have been attributable to his having paid contributions at a higher rate than the ordinary rate of contributions;
the employee is not prevented from contributing to the Fund under Part III by reason of subsection (1) of section 5.
 (4) If the Board is satisfied that, at the time when an employee in relation to whom this section applies commenced to be employed in the employment in which he was last employed before he became an employee, his health and physical fitness were of such a standard as would have justified his being accepted as a contributor to the Fund under Part III if he had then been an employee, the Board shall, notwithstanding subsection (1) of section 5, accept the employee as such a contributor.
 (5) If subsections (3) and (4) are not applicable in respect of an employee in relation to whom this section applies, the Board shall, notwithstanding subsection (1) of section 5, accept the employee as a contributor to the Provident Account.
 (6) Where the Minister, after receiving a report from the Board in respect of a period in relation to which this section applies, is of the opinion that, as a result of the operation of this section, the number of pensions that have become payable under this Act during that period by reason of the death of contributors during that period, or the retirement of contributors during that period on the ground of invalidity or of physical or mental incapacity to perform their duties, is greater than the number of pensions that would otherwise have become so payable during that period, the Minister may direct that there shall be paid by the Commonwealth to the Fund, in addition to any other amounts that have or may become payable to the Fund under this Act, such amount as the Minister considers appropriate.
 (7) The Board shall, before furnishing a report to the Minister for the purposes of subsection (6), consult with an actuary.
