No proposal to put retirement age either at 60 or after completion of 33 years of service: Govt

There is no proposal to put retirement age at 60 or after completion of 33 years of service for central government employees, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.

"There is no proposal to reduce retirement age below 60 years," Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply.

The government was asked whether it was actively considering to retire government officials either at the age of 60 years or after completing 33 years of service, whichever is earlier.
