 (6) The number of units of pension (other than non‑contributory units) for which an employee would otherwise be required to contribute at any time shall be reduced by the number of units of pension (if any) by which the number of units of pension (including non‑contributory units) to which he was entitled immediately before that time exceeds the aggregate of:
