A News about Increasing Retirement Age to 62 for Central Government Employees.

   The Ministry of Personnel and Training has forwarded a proposal in this regard to the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) :

   The news on retirement age 62 for central government employees  is not ending . One of the news paper in Goa, Oheraldo published a news about increasing retirement age of central government employees. Already we  posted a news about this and many popular news sites like Business standard, The Financial Express have also published a news about the possibility of  increasing retirement age to 62. There is a proverb  ’Where there’s smoke there’s fire’ . Many say that there is some truth behind every rumor. So obviously this rumour about increasing  retirement age  62 for central government employees  also can become a truth. The news published in Oheraldo is given below

    ”A move is afoot to raise the retirement age of over five million central government employees from 60 to 62 years, citing the longer span of life enabling most to be fit to work, though ostensibly it may be keeping an eye on the Delhi Assembly elections due in November to influence over 80 per cent of them living in the capital.

   The Ministry of Personnel and Training has forwarded a proposal in this regard to the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) for inclusion in the agenda of the Cabinet for consideration, after securing consent of various ministries, sources said, claiming that it has an approval of the finance ministry. The decision will help immensely those on the verge of retirement to continue in service for two years.
