Central Government should increase the retirement age from 60 to 65 or 68. The life expectancy of human being has become more than ever. A man remains fully capable to perform all kinds of works between the ages limit of 65 to 70. And if the government implement of Old Pension Scheme by scrapping NPS, government will not have to pay pension from 61 years to 68 years to the employee. After implementing enhancement of retirement age the government should continue conduct a study during the age of 60 to ensure whether the person is capable to perform duty further. If found incapable, the person will be removed from service at the age of 60 giving his due and the person who will be found capable will continue service up to 65 or 68. If retirement age is augmented, the government will get efficient, skilled and knowledgeable employee/ officers and so on.
Already the present govt has felt the heat in five states now without anymore further delay they should increase the retirement age for central govt employees with immediate effect atleast from 01 jan 2019 inorder to get the support from employees iin their favour arise awake and act is the only mantra now
when there is no age bar for the politician, then why not to increase the retirement age of Govt servant upto 62 or 65. In other countries the retirement age is above 60. In many of the countries it is upto 65 also.
