Retirement age (62) of central government employees
Retirement age of central government employees from 60 to 62..!
Will the Retirement age of central government employees go up from 60 to 62?
As we heard every time before the budget session of parliament, this time also a rumor about raising the retirement age of central government employees from 60 to 62 is spreading here and there among the central government employees. May be the officers at the verge of retirement be happy about this rumor. Otherwise there is no reason to be happy about this rumor.. As India is having 51% of people below the age of 25 years , it is not a good news to millions of jobless people. Sources close to the trade union movements and Federations told that there is no such proposal with the government since none of the workers federations have demanded it.
In 2009, The Manmohan Singh government was serious in weighing the pros and cons of increasing the retirement age for government employees from 60 to 62 years.That time it was believed that the finance ministry had prepared a detailed note on the issue and sent it to the prime minister's office (PMO) But the government shelved the idea, largely because of fears that a higher retirement age would adversely impact employment generation and create resentment in the bureaucracy because of blocked promotional avenues. At that time, it was the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) that was asked by the PMO to study the issue and prepare a report.
The BJP led National Democratic Alliance government had raised the retirement age from 58 to 60, in 1998, a move that benefitted 90,000 government servants and 50,000 defence personnel. At the time, the logic was: the retirement of 140,000 employees would have cost Rs 5,200 crore whereas paying salaries cost only Rs 1,493 crore.
Incase if the decision is finally taken, it will only be the third time the government will have raised the retirement age. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first prime minister to have increased the age of superannuation from 55 to 58 following the 1962 war with China. The Atal Bihari Vajpayee government did it a second time in 1998.

if such a revision of retirement takes place those who retired ad did not complete 60 or 62 years or 65 years will have to be invited to join the govt. service and fulfil their ad aspirations of centre.

The proposal(rumur) is nothing but a day dream......
I fully agree with this..
01. The fellows already occupying positions continue to do bossism for two years further.
2. Energetic/Young, awaiting for serving the nation by joining/promoting will get deeply disappointed.
3. Presently serving employees will have take care of their married children too...., as their employment chances will be postponed for two years.
I suggest, in the present scenario, Govt has to reduce the retirement age to 55, for energetic India!
The UGC has raised the retirement of lecturers, readers and of professors from 60 to 62; in case of College Pricipals, it would now be 65. The retirement of ICMR, ICAR, DRDO has already been increased by the Govt. from 60 to 62. However,it is surprising to see that Govt. is not bothered to increase the retirement age of the CSIR Scientists from 60 to 65 like in case of UGC. Presently, the extension of two years is given only in so called selected cases of the post Scientist G and above. Certainly, it is an injustice to the scientists at junior level. Scientific Research is categorised under Academics. It is therefore necessary to increase the retirement age of the Scientists and of the Technical Officers from 60 to 65 working in the CSIR laboratories

In some European countries the age of superannuation of government servants has been increased to 62 years by the respective governments. While creating new job opportunities for the youths and the unemployed, the Central Government in India can enhance the retirement age of government servants upto 62 years. Two more years of service for experienced personnel makes a great difference and such move will benefit the employer and the employed.

If politicians can serve the country at the age of 75 and above, why not a healthy, experienced and willing employee cannot be considered for 62 or 65 years?

Come on be a Man! Have/develop guts to get a job. we ofter hear that getting quality resource is difficult and thay are scare.
Retirement age of govt employees must be increased to 70 years India. It not correct to give jobs on the cost of jobs of other is something coward sort of. It's
hard earned money of Indians which govt pays to govt.employees. If increasing age reduce govt's expense than it must be done in the interest of whole India and for the benefit of overall economy of India.
Anonymus (A Central Govt. Group B Officer)said
In a country like INDIA where so much of unemployment problem for literate youngsters persists for the last 50 years since independence,Under no cirumstances,the retirement age should be extended to 62, but it should compulsorily be lowered to 58 paving way to qualified young aspirants for giving a life to them.

Retirment age of govt servent should not be raised further because raising retirment age means creating unemployed young india who can create callouse and harm the country.
50000/- getting so casually without
doing much work and Govt. always think that they have to bear this social overhead expenses to avoid the
unrest in govt. set up and moreover a
who want to loose a golden vote.so
chalne do desh ki economy gaye bhad me.Youth marata hai to marne do.
Enhancing the retirement age is wrong step towards the youngster as well as to the employer. The wan on the employment is the whit elephant to the young generation. Because of the scientific production of the grains and eatables as welcomed lot of diseases just completing 45 years of age.To do the work without chasma, he can not do the work. Because of the sickness they depend on his subordinate. Please think, if the retirement age is extended will youngster not suffer? Can the job which an youngster do with the latest technology, will old person do? Sir definitely the age of 45 years employee have the experience, but the experience is on modern technology. Definitely No, as the youngster will have. Therefore in my opinion the retirement age should not be enhanced. It should be brought down as previous to 55 Years.

I have personally observed that people who have no work pressure in office only they wants 60 to 62-65.
Just think of,one peon in court who has to carry load of files or a person who has to perform on machine/boiler or an employee in fire service or a postman who has to deliver letters/packets on various floors of different buildings. Also see 62 year old coming to delhi from meerut everyday. how he will perform after long journey? Since a mistake has been made by enhancing s age from 58 to 60, if cannot be rectified no more mistake be made.

1. Age 62 years.
OR
2. Service of 33 years.
Whichever is earlier.
This will improve quantum of the employment chances and all will get equal period of sevice to render. As it has been seen that the persons employed in earlier age are serving for 40 to 45 years and the persons employed in later age are serving for less than 30 years.
The above pattern will create a uniform frequency for employment for all the age groups and efficient persons who are young, energetic and technologicaly updated.
The above pattern woll give a better mixture of newcomers and experienced persons.
Government should think over the matter.
this should be considered earliest
In the vacancies so created, youngsters should be offered jobs.
1. Few of us due to getting job at later age got children also late whose marriageable age is due now only-we feel happy if our children can be got married while in service. A 2 to 5 years incrfease would ease.
2.For PSU(central) if a new entrant comes in our place they need to start providing for gratuity by 15 days pay for each year from now on where as we are already in maximum ceiling on gratuity-apart it no trng costs/recruitment cost no threat of leaving job for more better ones .We have more rich exprence.
Money to be shelled out in settlement on heavy lums or pensions can be deffered.
So pl consider enhance super annuity age

Hence retirement age should be increased if one has (1) Ph.D (2) atleast five first author publications (3) atleast five international journal first author publications.
If such strict norms does not exist only chemchagiri scientists are extending their tenure
Raising of retirement age will harp the promotion chances of serving employees which is already in the stagnation paraticularly among Gp-C & B. At the outset raising retirement age of physical work force(Gr-D, C&B) is not advisable in any case even govt to decide the age limit in lower side of the band i.e. 58 yrs 0r 55 yrs to decrease the un-employment
Whether Government increases the retirement age of CG employees or not there is one sector of CG which constantly getting the extension indirectly that is DRDO. Invariably many Scientist Gs and Directors of various Establishments get extensions once or twice irrespective of what they have achieved or otherwise. This trend should be curbed
