If a member's or beneficiary's request for settlement of any death benefit in equal installments over a period of years or as a life annuity pursuant to the foregoing is approved by the policyholder, the amount of such installments or such life annuity, as the case may be, shall be determined on the basis of such applicable mortality tables as shall have been adopted by the retirement system and are in effect at the member's death. Any arrangement for payment under the group policy to a beneficiary shall be in lieu of that provided by sections 38, 41, 45, 46, 48, 49 and 57 of Chapter 84 of the laws of 1954.
