(2) Where a member of the family dies or becomes disqualified before receiving the gratuity, the share of the gratuity otherwise payable to a member of the family who has died or become disqualified before receiving actual payment shall be disbursed equally among the remaining members of the family. 12. Report of the Examiner of Local Accounts. - The gratuity under Rule 5 shall be paid after report with respect of the amount admissible has been obtained from the Examiner of Local Accounts. 13.
