No
plan to raise retirement age to 62 years: Government
Recent media reports
had claimed that the ministry of personnel was working on a proposal to
increase the age of service by two years as part of government's plan to defer
payouts in the form of pensions and other payments to check fiscal deficit. It
was also speculated that the move may be timed ahead of Lok Sabha elections due
next year. The retirement age for a
majority of central government employees is 60 years. However, the age for
retirement in case of teachers and scientists is 62 years. The age of
superannuation varies in state governments with majority of them keeping it at
60 years.
The Centre had in
1998 raised the retirement age of its employees to 60 from 58 years. //PTI
