As enacted

3. Avoidance of doubt

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that if a disadvantaged person dies, the period during which he was so disadvantaged shall inure to the benefit of his heir or heirs and accordingly such heir or heirs shall be entitled to the benefit granted to a disadvantaged person under section 2 of this Act.
