2.Where the insured person has not attained sixty years of age but has completed the full qualifying period as specified under section 17A, the daily rate of survivors' pension shall be a basic amount equivalent to fifty per cent of his average monthly wage, increased by one per cent of the average monthly wage for every twelve months contributions paid in excess of the first twenty-four months, but subject to the maximum of sixty-five per cent of the average monthly wage in respect of him during the period between the date when contributions first become payable by him and the date of his death, divided by the number of days in the month in which the pension is paid or payable.
3. Where an insured person has not attained sixty years of age but has completed the reduced qualifying period as specified under section 17A, the daily rate of survivors' pension shall be an amount equivalent to fifty per cent of his average monthly wage divided by the number of days in the month in which the pension is paid or payable.

Provided that if the total of survivors' pension distributed among the widow or widower and children exceeds at any time the daily rate of survivors' pension, the share of each dependant shall be proportionately reduced so that the total amount payable does not exceed the daily rate of survivors' pension:
Provided further that the daily rate of survivors' pension for each child shall be three-fifths of the daily rate of survivors' pension if there is no widow or widower or if the widow or widower dies, and if there be more than one child, the amount payable shall be equally divided among them.
6.If an insured person who is in receipt of invalidity pension, or if an insured person who has not attained sixty years of age but has completed a full or reduced qualifying period as specified under section 17A, dies and does not leave a widow or widower or child, survivors' pension shall be payable to other dependants as follows:
(a)
to a parent or grandparent, for life, an amount equivalent to four-tenths of the daily rate of survivors' pension, and if there are two or more parents or grandparents, the amount payable shall be divided equally among them;
