No idea to change Retirement Age of Central Government Employees
Central Government has no idea to change the Retirement Age of Central Government Employees
There is no such idea to reduce or change the retirement rules of Central Government employees, official sources said.
Recent days in Social media, the retirement norms will be changed according to the age and service. Who have completed 33 years of service also get retired. Rumours also spread out the implementation date of the new rules from 1.4.2020.
But the Central Government is being given more attention to implementing the rules of FR 56 and Rule 48 of CCS Pension Rules. Instructions were given to all ministries and departments to review the performance of Central Government employees periodically who attains the age of 50/55 years or completed 30 years of service.
“Need to periodical review of performance of Central Government Employees with a view to ascertain whether the Government employee should be retained in service or retired from service in the public interest. Provisions in this regard are contained in FR 56 (j), FR 56 (I) and Rule 48 (1) (b) of CCS (Pension) Rules, 2017”

Time Schedule for review is as under:-
When it will be implemented there will be a huge numbers of employees being retired forcefully. Thereafter what about their liabilities. How they manage higher education of their children bcz higher education of all employees will come mostly after completion of 25 yrs service. Reducing age if retirement will give opportunity to fresh appointee but family of employee being retired will suffer badely. So keeping in mind of the upcoming situation of emp, govt be consider the fact and status que be maintained.
Sir/ Madam
It would be in the larger common interest of the country as well as of the individuals if the brilliant idea of retiring Government employees on completing 60 years of age or 33 years of service is actually implemented w.e.f 01.04.2020. It will reduce burden on the exchequer as well as create job opportunities for needy new incumbents.
Sincerely,
