Part 1: Public Service Pension Schemes Chapter 1: Schemes other than Judicial Schemes and Local Government Schemes Section 25: Remedial arrangements to pay voluntary contributions to legacy schemes
This section provides that scheme regulations for a Chapter 1 legacy scheme may make provision giving members with remediable service the facility to enter into new arrangements to pay voluntary contributions.
	Section 25(2) sets out that provision may be made in relation to members, other than deceased members, who have remediable service.
	Section 25(3) provides that scheme regulations may permit a member to enter into new arrangements to pay voluntary contributions only if they can show that it is more likely than not that they would have entered into similar arrangements, but for the unlawful discrimination.
	Section 25(4) allows for the provision made under scheme regulations, in particular, to adjust the amount of member voluntary contributions that are due under a new arrangement to reflect the tax treatment of those contributions. This is to allow for members to be charged an amount that is equivalent to the net amount that they would have paid had the contributions instead been made during their remediable service, reflecting the fact that they may not be eligible to receive tax relief on the voluntary contributions paid under a new arrangement.
	Section 25(6) prevents scheme regulations from permitting members to enter into new voluntary contribution arrangements after one year from the date a remediable service statement is first provided in relation to the member, or such later time as the scheme manager considers reasonable in all the circumstances.
	Section 25(7) confirms that the time limit in section 25(6) does not affect the continued operation after that time of any remedial arrangements entered into before then.
