§ 52³.   Fondipensioni kokkuleppimine ja väljamaksete tegemise tingimused

  (1) Fondipensioni kokkuleppimisel määrab osakuomanik selle arvestusliku kestuse aastates, mis ei või olla lühem fondipensioni minimaalsest arvestuslikust kestusest aastates.

Pensioniaasta on üheaastane periood, mille arvestus algab fondipensioni puhul fondipensioni avalduse esitamise kuule järgneva kuu 1. kuupäeval.
