As Per the Gazette notification of the revised   IP&TAFS Group-B (Gazetted) it is clear that for serving employees eligibility for LDCE is as follows:-

1.       Working in  :  DOP/ Telecom

2.       Age limit  :  no bar  (no age restriction for LDCE)

3.       No of Posts:  Given under notification

4.       Pattern of exam : given under notification

5.       Educational Qualification:  Any bachelor degree.

6.       Eligibility of service:  all  officials  in Group ‘C’ cadre with the following service

(i)                  Level-1  ( Gpay 1800) /MTS cadre:  14 Years

(ii)                Level-2  (Gpay 1900)                         :13

(iii)               Level-3  (Gpay-2000) / Postman    :   11

(iv)              Level-4 ( Gpay-2400) / PA cadre  :    9 years

(v)                Level-5  (Gpay-2800/MACP1  PA) :  7 years

(vi)              Level-6  (Gpay-4200/MACP2 PA)  :  4 years.

But some confusion is there for this regular service condition. Level-1 with 14 years is not possible due to MACP (level-2) promotion by the official.

IMPORTANT:-

As per Gazettee  notification it was clear that  all  class –C employees viz, MTS/Postman/PAs are eligible to appear this LDCE if  they  were a graduate.

(Group B- non Gazetted) : POSTMASTER (GRADE-II),  GRADE-III, HSG-II, HSG-I,  IPOs, (Gazetted) :ASPOs ect… cadre are not eligible to appear this LDCE.

State and Central governments surprise  Election  gifts to  employees  -  Thinking  on  raising of Retirement Age of Central   60 to 62 / State (Telangana) Government Employees from  58 to 60/62.

At the end of Every Year people used to talk about the proposal of raising the retirement age of government servants. Normally the people who are at the verge of retirement from government service are eagerly expecting the government to increase the retirement age. The Government servants especially those who are in the pay structure of Pay band –I will have to face financial burden as the Pension amount they will be paid after commutation will be very meager and it is not sufficient enough to meet their expenses of day to day life. Because the Government employees those who are drawing grade pay of Rs.1800/-, 1900/-, 2000/-, 2400/-and 2800/- will get only around Rs.20000 as the gross salary of every month. It is understood that one cannot lead a financially successful life with this income alone.   So many government servants, to run the life, forced to avail loans from where ever they can get. At the end, they are badly in debt at the time of retirement. That is why the government servants don’t feel happy about retiring from service. But extending the service of two years from 60 to 62 will not solve all their problems. It will help them to put off facing the financial crisis for at least two years. But the Government does not consider this aspect any way to increase the retirement age of central govt.employees from 60 to 62.

  The Central Government always wanted to make better use of the knowledge and experience of its Bureaucrats even after their retirement.  Normally IAS officers offered multiple service extension.

Employees cadre	Retirement age Years
Central Govt .  Gr-D/C/B/A	60
Professors of  Central universities	65
Judges Supreme Court	65
Judges High court	62
Re-engagement of Retired employees  in Railways	Up to 62

   So keeping in view of the entire above aspects one can assume that the state and central governments and some Departments are in fovour of increasing the retirement age of Central and State govt. employees.;

 But Social Activists and youth associations are against this proposal and they expressed their dissatisfaction over this  and telling that the retirement age of central government employees should not be increased to 62 as increasing the retirement age is a threat for employment prospects of the youth. Many of them opined that instead of increasing, the retirement age should be reduced to 58 so that the youngsters will be given opportunity to get into Central government services.
